SH*t brides say!


Missing!

Hey all,
I have been VERY busy with new classes and subjects at work; planning an Engagement Party and House-warming (which we celebrated this weekend). I'm going to get back into blogging and make it one of my priorities again.

I hope you are all keeping well.
Looks like QLD are in for 4-5 more days of rain. Just what we need! Everything is damp and just really gross. I want the sunshine. So I am dreaming of honeymooning in Bora Bora.

Friday Fitness - make it work for you!

friday fitness

Make exercise work for you!  
 
Yes, whatever you do make it suit you! If you can only fit in a 20-30 minute workout a day make it count. If you go to the gym don't just plod along on the treadmill - mix it up with interval training, 30 mins on the treadmill on varying speeds and inclines, jump on the elliptical trainer for 10 mins, use the star climber and don't forget weights.

You need to push yourself until you can't go any more this is what exercise should be. Not so you injure yourself but until you are exhausted or can't go any more. Go until you fail! This is how you build muscle. You must also combine this with a healthy, lean and clean diet too. Without this you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
Inspiration for physical health:
