Love a green smoothie!!!!

Green because spinach is such an essential vege to eat. It's packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. So it's linked with many health benefits such as helping to moderate blood pressure, can support energy levels and can support bone health.

Try milk (I like oat milk), heaps of baby spinach, and a banana.

Hummus one of my favorite snacks. Yes I have run out of more nutritious crackers but that's not stopping me.

Hummus is naturally high in plant based protein and fibre. This has a more gradual effect on your blood sugar, so you stay full for a while.

It can also help with weight management and it's rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients.

A nutritious and delicious addition to a nice cracker or carrot stick.

Do you struggle finding time and/or motivation to exercise? Do you put your health and fitness goals at the bottom of the list?

Mum life is hectic.

It can be exhausting tending to the needs of others and constantly thinking about your own needs last.

I know I used to.

You wake up early, you go to bed late, but there are still never enough hours in the day.

The struggle is REAL. So much is expected of us. The emotional load is massive. The pressure of raising little humans to be amazing adults and to thrive in their futures, in a world we know nothing of. It can be overwhelming at times.

So when do you fit yourself and your own health/ wellbeing into all of that?

Plus where do you start? What is the best exercise to do? Will it give you the result you want? Will you be able to stick with it, or will it be a failed attempt and go on the back burner again?

If you are sick and tired of the relentless fatigue and guilty feeling that comes along with being far from your best physically……let me assure you that there is an exercise plan that DOESN’T take up too much time (15-20 minute workouts) and you DON’T have to do it every day, but it will make you stronger and fitter and YOU WILL feel much better.

Some new year exercises to try. You'll find these and more on some of my 12 week programs. No equipment needed!! Do them at home.

They are:

= Down dog and leg lifts (repeat 10 x on each leg)
= Ab roll up and toe touches (repeat 10 x)
= Side plank with hip up/down (see how many you can do!)

Repeat x 2

You Do NOT need to spend more than 20 minutes a few times a week exercising to get stronger and live in a more functional, pain free body. Not everyone has that option... so set a realistic goal.
