Confessions Of A Late-Night Snacker

Kat — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:01:21 +0000

Guest post by Sarah Wilson I’ve confessed to this before (on twitter, in Cosmo): I have this thing where I have to eat before I go to bed. Doesn’t matter how sustaining dinner was. I have to snack. Honey on rice toast. Toasted nuts with cinnamon ticks many wrong boxes and doesn’t do great things for [...]

How To Enjoy Fresh Fish Without A Hefty Dose Of Mercury

Kat — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:39:42 +0000

You’d have to be living in a junk food bubble not to have heard health concerns about mercury levels in fish. We all know that (in theory) fresh fish is an excellent way to increase your omega 3 intake, vary your protein sources and basically just round out an already healthy diet. I’ve found that [...]

Have You Had Your Essential Carbs Today?

Kat — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:01:50 +0000

If there’s one thing that tends to upset people who come to see me more than anything it’s the idea of reducing carbohydrate intake. I don’t ask everybody to back off the carbs, but it’s safe to say that a vast majority get (at the very least) a short-term low-carb bootcamp. And while some take [...]

Why Compression Clothing Should Never Be Worn On It’s Own

I’m in the Gold Coast this week repeating my BioSignature Modulation course (and man is it AWESOME but more on that another time) so I’m going to skip out on my usual carefully thought out prose. For now, click play. And be prepared to cringe slash laugh slash be thankful this hasn’t happened to you. Enough said, [...]

Kat — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:01:23 +0000

If you’re a goal-setting kind of person like I am then you no doubt have a lot of big picture stuff in mind (and hopefully well under way) for 2010. Makes you feel purposeful, doesn’t it? But when you set big goals for yourself there is an obvious downside – the day to day can seem [...]

The more I chat to you guys the more it seems there’s a bit of a common theme when it comes to exercise. You want to know more about the best styles for getting lean, you’d like some new ideas, and you’re sick of feeling like you don’t really know what to do in the [...]

How To Boost Your Metabolism In 3 Minutes 29 Seconds

If you’re starting to feel like trying to get lean is all hard work then it’s time you looked at fat loss from a new perspective. Laughter is more than just a medicine – it boosts dopamine levels (the feel-good hormone) and helps your body to detoxify excess stress by reducing cortisol. And if there’s [...]

You Don’t Get Fat Accidentally

Kat — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:01:01 +0000

Fellow Melbournian and blogger/fitness guru Craig Harper recently made a comment which really caught my eye. It was one of several useful points in a blog post of his and was simple this - “You don’t get fat accidentally” And I guess, when it comes down to it, that this is true. At the end of the [...]

You know by now that intervals training is the key to truly successful cardio. If you want to burn fat, that is, as opposed to end up with chunky fat aerobics instructor syndrome. And perhaps you’ve seen my latest article in the Fitness First magazine and want to know more about ideal cardio for fat [...]

I know it won’t come as a surprise to you when I tell you that this time of year tends to be the busiest for Personal Trainers. Any business-minded trainer will have systems in place, training programs drafted, and new marketing initiatives at the ready. Because with just the smallest amount of preparation (and sometimes [...]
