Making every day count
If you want to change your life you have to be willing to do something different than you are already doing now. You have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone. A life lived in fear is a life half lived. Every day is a new opportunity to work towards your dreams. You can have or do whatever you want, you just have to be willing to go for it. Have the courage to make these changes because this is the only life you are getting and you have to make everyday count.
Personalized diet and workout programs
I am excited to announce that I am offering personalized diets and workouts sessions. I offer remote sessions via skype where I create a taylor made diet or diet and workout for you. For those peeps in Las Vegas I can see you in person for your sessions. Spots are very limited since my focus is on quality.. There are only a couple spaces left.
-My focus is weight loss through nutrition.
-Toning and sculpting.
-Getting back in shape after a baby.
I have found that sometimes it is the little things that can make a huge difference. We have been told so many different things from health and fitness experts and the media and it can be really misleading. My job is to empower you with knowledge so that you can make informed lifelong choices to be the best that you can be.
If you are interested in any of my personalised programs email me at sophiadrysdalefitness@gmail.com.
Craziness at the Master Worlds
Check out my banner with Travis Stevens who just won Silver at the Olympics!!!!
The Master World Championships was an epic event with so many amazing highly seasoned competitors. I was honoured to be asked at the Fuji booth to sign and meet and greet. I met some many amazing people and saw so many familiar faces. This BJJ world is a small world and we all come together from every country to enjoy the passion that we all share. Good vibes.

OTP article, exercises to avoid during pregnancy
As fitness professionals, we are keenly aware that women are routinely given mixed information about training during their pregnancy. Unfortunately, this is partly due to the remaining stigma whereby pregnancy is treated as if it is an illness and women are expected to rest all the time and never exert...".

This my second piece about training women while pregnant. In this article I list situations and conditions to look out for as well as exercises that are a big no-no. BUt this noes not mean to stop exercising!!! Exercise has a myriad of benefits for the mother and the developing baby, which will help throughout pregnancy and during her labor, birth and recovery. Exercise or training programs need to be modified accordingly, rather than being stopped altogether. So just because there are things we need to look out for, that doesn't mean that pregnant athletes should stop their training and doing what they love.
Exercises for fully defined ab muscles.
My article published in Breaking Muscle magazine discusses the myths about training for a six pack, or toned, flat abs. So many of us can get the definition on the upper portion but still have a little pooch on the lower belly. Check out my article where I demonstrate exercises that work the lower half of the abs too! http://breakingmuscle.com.au/au/strength-conditioning/5-exercises-for-fully-defined-ab-muscles
