I am a mum of two and I know how tough it is to stay on top of your goals. I can help you by sharing with you my meals that I eat on a daily basis.
My 5 Day Challenge starts on Monday. If you want some guidance to feel and look your best then this group is for you!

It all sounds too good to be true, but it is not. It is just my way of giving back to all those who have attended my seminars and camps over the years...

Taking time out throughout the day will make you overall much more productive.
It is really important to seek balance in your life. I have been stuck on the computer all day so I decided to spend my lunch breakout outside and connect with nature and do some stretching. If you are working a lot, taking time out a couple times a day just to get a quick breather and to reset your mind will make you so much more productive overall. There is nothing worse than the feeling of being brain deal all day when you have deadlines looming.
It was such an honour to be teaching alongside Hannette Staack at this awesome event.
Lately I have been teaching a seminar every week or so. It is so amazing to be able to travel to new places, see new things, meet new people all because of the sport I love. The other week I was honoured to be teaching a seminar in Texas for the Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation alongside multiple time World Champ Hannette Staack. The WBJJF is dedicated to promoting women in the sport with camps, tournaments and seminars geared to both women and girls. Thank you Kristine Felts for starting this organisation and making a difference to so many. Your efforts are hugely appreciated. I met amazing women who were seasoned athletes, or brand new beginners or mothers (one was a mother of 5 kids!) Everyone of these ladies was taking the time out for themselves to pursue what they love and that is what it is all about.
It is really important to find the balance in your fitness routines. After all your training sessions and after a hard workout you have to make the time to stretch. Training involves contracting your muscles repeatedly over time. So in order to maintain that balance you need to stretch which elongates your muscles. Without stretching, your muscles can tighten up and over time this can lead to muscle pain, joint pain and musclular and strength imbalances. So after your sessions, make the time for a stretch. Even a quick stretch for 5 mins will make a world of difference to how your body feels after the workout once you have cooled down.
I headed out to Texas to teach a seminar with Hannette Staack for the Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation. The event was a huge event with a tournament also with many people participating. I am honoured to be a part of this amazing event and to be teaching along side the amazing Hannette Staack who is doing amazing things for women in the sport.
They say it is 80% diet and 20% exercise, but in reality it is 100% of the right lifestyle. What you eat, how much water you drink,how you train, how much sleep you get and your frame of mind are all essential factors to looking and feeling your best every day. All the parts together make up the whole. Just eating right but not sleeping enough won't do. Just as training hard but not eating right won't work either. Another important factor is rest. Taking time out for some TLC is very important for your mind and your body. Treat yourself to a massage and take timeout every day for some meditation.
The ladies group private where we discuss all things girly...
This weekend just past I headed out to Kentucky to teach a ladies workshop and a seminar. I met some familiar faces and some new faces and it is always a great opportunity to connect and share knowledge. We discussed all things jiu jitsu and nutrition. I enjoyed the relaxed Southern vibe. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Thank you Christinia Scott for being a wonderful host and for making this possible.
My seminar. Some familiar faces and some new ones.
