October is known as the Breast Cancer awareness mo October is known as the Breast Cancer awareness month (yes, I am a bit overdue), but I decided to donate my hair again this year for those women who have suffered or are fighting Cancer. I hope my hair will draw a big smile in someone’s face, as it has done in mine several times. Many family members have said goodbye to us after fighting Cancer, and with this little action, I try to keep them close. You can do this too! It takes 20 ponytails to do one wig, and with a minimum of 20cm, you can help to make one for someone special. Please visit https://sustainablesalons.org/ponytaildonations/ to check all the requirements and tag me in your photos! 2020 has been a year full of changes, let’s embrace a new change while helping others! @hairbychloechurch was the gorgeous hairstylist that helped me yesterday! 100% recommended, she is amazing and @jc.bodyboutique is 😍 #breastcancerawareness #cancerfight #hairdonation #hairdonationforcancer #embracethechange #extrememakeover #hairstyle #ponytail @sustainablesalonsanz
Eating seasonally is good for the planet, your wal Eating seasonally is good for the planet, your wallet and your waistline. But why? Eating according to the season’s availability allow you to buy food that is generally in its peak supply. That means that these foods are tastier, fresh and probably cheaper than at any other time of the year. This is also good for the planet as it will allow you to buy locally, helping your local farmers. This translates into fewer resources to transport and store goods, reducing also the greenhouse gases emissions. An extra benefit is that by buying seasonal products, you increase the chances of buying more fruits and vegetables. This will allow you to leave for longer and will help you to maintain a healthy weight. During Spring (September- November) in Australia, try to look for: 🍌Fruits: apple, asparagus, avocado, banana, blueberries, cantaloupe, cherry, grapefruit, honeydew, lemon, lime, mandarin, mango, orange, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, tangelo and watermelon to name a few. 🥦Vegetables: artichoke, Asian greens, beans, beetroot, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, corn, eggplant, leek, lettuce, mushrooms, onion, peas, potato, pumpkin, spinach, tomato and zucchini among others. Have you considered seasonal eating before?

One of the exercises I recommend the most is the p One of the exercises I recommend the most is the plank. This is a simple but effective core exercise that helps you build stability and strength throughout your entire body. The plank targets almost every group of muscles in our body (the transversus abdominis, the rectus abdominus, your obliques and glutes). Planks improve muscle mass, the strength of our skeletal system, and it also improves our ability to focus and concentrate as well as to breath properly. To do a plank appropriately, you must begin in a push-up postural position with your body weight supported by the feet and the hands or elbows (in contact with the floor). The tricky part is that the torso needs to remain in a straight line with the hip level for the duration of the exercise. You need to maintain an isometric contraction (your abbs will contract but they won’t change in length) while keeping this hold position against the force of gravity. COMMON MISTAKE: to allow the hips to drop too low or rise too high during fatigue. Have you tried planks before? Do you like them? I need to confess that I do enjoy them tremendously! #covidexercise #gettingactive #exercisescience #tips #mondaymotivation #sportsscience #planks #runningexercises #coreworkout #corestrength #coretraining #strengthtraining #stabilitytraining #conditioning

There you go, eating healthy can’t be any simpler! #healthyeating #healthyeatinghabits #sweetpotatochips #kiss #keepitstupidsimple #sportsnutrition #dietetics #weightloss #easyrecipes #wednesdaywisdom #fitnessjourney #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgoals #keepingcookingsimple
Today I want to start to apply a new technique, a Today I want to start to apply a new technique, a new philosophy for all my patients, followers and friends; this philosophy is KEEP IT STUPID SIMPLE! The KISS principle has been around for a while now, and it states that any system should be kept as simple as possible whenever possible. I believe this is a great approach to any diet, meal plan, cooking style, exercise routine etc. Why? Because we don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen, because when changing habits, we need to make them as sustainable as possible, and obviously because we want things to be quick to do other fun stuff. I see with concern how many clients end up stressing out thinking about complex meals when a sandwich, a portion of pasta or something really simple can work as well as a gourmet-organic-gluten-free-free-range super dish. Who is with me? 😉🍏 #kiss #kissprinciple #keepitsimple #keepitsimplestupid #mealplanning #easycooking #toolsforsuccess #sportsnutrition #weightlossjourney #weightlosstips
