Get Around Fitness

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you a 2022 full of great health and happiness.

Thank you to my incredible 'fit fam and friends' for your ongoing support and love. I've felt it more than ever over the last several months.

For those who were unaware, I have been struggling with my health for a while (non-covid related). It's taken so long to decide whether to keep my health private, or share to promote awareness of self-advocacy when it comes to your body's health, and to never give up when you know something isn't right. I finally received a diagnosis in September. If you would like to know more, I have written a 'condensed' version of my journey in the hope it may help, comfort, educate and empower others. No one knows your body better than you. Attached is a link to my story.

At this stage, I will take indefinite leave as a personal trainer / group fitness coach until further notice. I will do my best to make myself available for any advice, motivation and / or knowledge for those who need it, and aim to post on socials with new recipes and ideas to help you with your health and fitness journey. On that note, with a new year comes plenty of resolutions...my advice is to avoid fad diets (including clever marketing aimed to make you think their program isn't a diet), as those ads are funded by businesses that want your money. There is NO 'one-size-fits-all' when it comes to nutrition. Give your money to a fully qualified dietician / nutritionist who will assess you and your needs.

Take care, stay safe, and learn to listen to your bodies # #

I love finding ways to make store-bought foods more naturally at home!

Here's a great example - the store-bought 'Protein Nut Bar vs Homemade Nut Bar!

First, look at the ingredient comparison. Way more listed in the store-bought bars vs Homemade.

Second, look at the nutritional table. There's almost 3 times as many carbs in the store-bought compared to homemade, as well as more fat.

This recipe makes 12 bars so replace store-bought with homemade when writing up your meal plans for the week! They're so yum!

Who else has been inspired by our Olympian's? Don't let lockdown stop your health and fitness goals.

Pump up your favourite tunes and try my 'Everyone's a winner' workout at home!

Don't leave it for Monday - there will be a new one up by then! 😉💪 Stay strong
