Welcome to my blog page, full of tips on getting exercise and good health to become second nature!
My favourite way to catch up with friends is to go for a long power walk and talk, good for the body and great for the soul.

Goal Setting
Had a great afternoon with Sophie Trpevscki - GSPOT and Helena Steel - CAREER GURU doing our vision board. They have a great opportunity having been selected to join the OMM Project, go girls...behind you all the way!
What a great way to catch up with friends, whilst creating your vision goals for the year.
Without goals they are only dreams.
With goals we see results.
With a vision board (pictures of your goals) they become reality.
Going to hang my vision board in the bathroom, where I see it often.

March into March
One of the most vital aspects of good health is often put aside.
This is the importance of maintaining your muscles!
When it comes to dieting, there is a big chance of losing vital muscle, which is the foundation of your body.
The most asked question I get is:
How can I lose weight?
Or,
I lost so many kilos in just a few weeks, but have managed to put it all back again, how?
The problem with strict dieting and losing weight, is that you also lose muscle just a quickly.
The more muscle you lose the harder it is to lose fat; it is in the muscle where you burn fat.
Strengthening your muscles is like adding logs to the fire, the more you add the more the fire burns.
Muscle is the engine in which body fat is burned for fuel – so if you don‘t have much muscle you cannot lose much fat. Running, cycling
and Aerobic exercise alone will not give you this result.
We need to stress the bones in order to lay down the calcium for support. You stress the bones by laying down muscle through strength training, first and foremost, then we can add to it by choosing foods high in calcium, See page 2 of this newsletter.
Your immune system is also dependent on muscle, the stronger the muscles the better your immune system will work. This is obviously important all year round.
Between the ages of 20 and 40 the average female loses 3.6kg of muscle and gains 10 kilos of fat.
Between 20 and 80 the aver-age male loses one quarter of his muscle mass.
If you think a strength based exercise is all too much, think again.
March into shape with strength!
All you need to know to reduce your body fat is to do the correct weight workout three times a week.
All you need is ―yourself!
We also need to help our children, avoid dieting to stay slim, and teach them the beauty nature provides in whole foods, and an active life. Our health depends on it.
A saying I use often is “if we don’t make time for good health, we will need to make time for ill health”
And yes you need to exercise, the correct type of exercise, and the kind that will hold you in good stead for a long time.
