I did these exercises this morning to work off my Christmas turkey. Lunges work your legs and butt and get your heart rate going, crunches keep your abs tight. Two great exercises to keep things in check after a little splurge.
Mumma and Bubba training BJJ.
Mumma and bubba training. It is so exciting to see your little ones in their first BJJ classes, even if they do just roll around like stranded seals. Lol.
Nutrition E Book Almost Ready to be Launched!
I have been working really hard on finalizing things for the launch of my nutrition e book. I am so excited to be able to share with you everything I have learned over the years as an athlete and a coach, teacher and personal trainer on the best ways to fuel your body for performance and optimal energy and the best ways to eat for weight loss. Here is a sneak peak of one of my recipes 😉

Awesome Training with Fellow Black Belt at Legion
My next stop in Perth was at Legion 13. I taught an all female seminar to the most amazing bunch of ladies. We covered my favourite knee slide technique to some leg bar and toe hold combinations. I was lucky enough to do some training with the ladies including fellow black belt Joanne Masielo. It is always an honour to train with other black belts. Especially Aussie home grown ones!
Eat For Your Sport, Breaking Muscle Magazine
Sophia Drysdale, her diet for Ms Figure.
According to the World Health Organization, the worldwide obesity rate has more than doubled since 1980. In 2014, 39 percent of adults over the age of eighteen were overweight, and 13 percent were obese.1 This is a scary statistic - almost half the world's population are overweight.
It’s no wonder so many people always seem to be on a diet of some sort. However, diets are part of the problem. Understanding the right way to eat is the key to avoid diets and all the negative aspects that go along with them. For athletes, understanding the powerful effects food has on the body can help you reach your sport-specific goals without dangerously cutting calories.
This is an excerpt of an article I wrote for the launch of the Australian Breaking Muscle magazine. In the article I discuss my journey of training for my respective sports and the my eating plans to achieve my desired goals. Read on if you want to know how I ate for optimum performance and to be stage show ready.

The Arena MMA, a great bunch!
My first stop in Perth was at The Arena MMA. I had the pleasure of teaching this awesome group of people a couple or workshops as well as a seminar. The ladies group was really strong too with role models such as Crystal and Cara to pave the way for the yonger ones.
Thank you Keith and Taff for making this possible!

Wonder Women
Check out Wonder Woman! ... I mean the lady in black who has 4 kids including an 8 week old baby and who helps run the gym and is out and about all day doing things for everyone. Women like these are the backbones of society. The support network that is so imperative but severely undervalued. There will be a time when the perspective shifts and the role of woman in all her power is profoundly honored. Empowered women empowering women.
Wonder women. Marie Sales, a mother of 4 kids who does it all.
Bliss and Blue Skies.
During my time in Australia amongst all my arduous travelling I managed to find the time to hit the beach. Australian Summers are like no other. Bliss and blue skies. Enjoying life.
