Do you include resistance training in your weekly

Do you include resistance training in your weekly exercise routine?

For women, resistance training is super important not just for improving strength and toning, but also to help prevent osteoporosis later in life.

This year I've shaken things up for the GGG Online Squad membership - live training sessions now include upper body/core resistance on Mondays, and lower body/core on Wednesdays (along with the usual slow flow yoga to cap things off on a Friday).

During these online classes we use a set of dumbells, but if you haven't got some you can sub for just about anything (Filled water bottles! Food cans!) or take the equipment-free options.

If you've got any questions about resistance training or would like to join me in the Online Squad, send me a DM for more info 💪

Hope everyone is faring okay this week! I've been

Hope everyone is faring okay this week! I've been pretty quiet over the past year or so - between pandemic, homeschooling, the kids' extracurricular activities and now, flooding! When I get stressed and busy, social media is one of the first things I ditch (not so great when you have an online business but anxiety is a b*tch!), so my focus lately has been more towards the kids and the Online Squad membership.

I'm going to be making more of an effort this year to juggle things better, jump online and give you more tips to nail your health and wellness goals - if you have any questions about exercise, nutrition, yoga, mindset, prenatal/postpartum training (or even Auckland life or homeschooling) hit me up!

Are you building yourself up with activities you n

Are you building yourself up with activities you need for self care?

My 4-year-old daughter has been struggling with confidence, social situations and big emotional outbursts in the second half of this year and we've been making changes to help her work through it.

We:
- Brought her bed time earlier to give her more rest.
- Taught her to self-regulate in a quiet, dark space (her room, the kindy library) to soothe her stress response.
- Shortened her kindy days to improve energy levels and give more time at home.
- Reduced the activities that seemed to trigger stress, adding ballet and gymnastics to help build confidence and happiness.
- TV and screen time is bare minimum (she can ask to listen to music whenever she wants).
- Regularly remind her of yoga breathing techniques and calming poses to help her self regulate.

The turnaround from these changes has been amazing! She now sleeps better through the night. There are no more tantrums and emotional outbursts are easy to calm. She now rarely worries about social situations and her previous anxiety issues seem to be gone. She generally seems a lot happier.

Mental wellbeing shouldn't be underrated! Imagine if all grown ups took similar steps for self-care...

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅 Our family has been rock

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅 Our family has been rocked by several reminders this festive season that life is short; enjoy the day's festivities without feeling guilty or worrying about calories. Savour your food, find appreciation in the experience (not just the loot under the tree!), and for those of you facing Christmas with a loved one missing or not feeling much like celebrating for whatever reason, I send you peace and love ❤

Feeling stressed out, tired or just a little low on energy? It's happening to almost everyone at this time of year! Do Viparita Karani - or legs up the wall - for even just 5 minutes to improve circulation, alleviate fatigue, help with mental clarity and focus, and feel more energetic. Or come along to Creative Action Squad yoga on Friday mornings at 9.30am and I'll take you through it! 🙏🧘‍♀️

This little one is the latest addition to the Creative Action Squad family! Now that her mama has been cleared to start exercising again, they're both joining the fun 😍 Did you know all our 45 minute sessions are child-friendly, including Friday morning yoga?

Several training sessions still left for the year but with a number of ladies finishing up early to have a Christmas break we had our end of year Squad holiday-themed workout today! These ladies had a great time spelling out CHRISTMAS with exercise moves, building snowmen and doing a not-so-nice finisher to Deck the Halls 🎅 Wishing everyone a safe, happy Christmas and holiday season! See you in 2020!

A post-Halloween-workout treat for today's Squad ladies! Try their final finisher:

Play the Ghostbuster theme song - star jumps or star steps for the WHOLE song. For every time they say 'Ghostbusters' do 1x burpee, every time they say 'I ain't afraid of no ghost' do 3x squat jumps or low impact squat swings.
