Why we sleep
Thursday, November 15, 2018 | By Luke Archer
Ahhh, sleep.
I love sleep.
I value it so much these days that it's hard to believe I used to do so little of it!
Back in my younger days, I'd go days without it, partying the weekends away, week after week, month after month.
It's a wonder that I was able to keep doing my job and play footy!
I place a lot more importance on the amount and quality of sleep I get these d

How do you fit it all in?
Thursday, November 08, 2018 | By Rachael Archer
Rach and I have been asked this question a bit over the past couple of months - "How do you fit it all in?"
We work with a lot of parents, who are juggling kids, work, staying fit, being social, eating well, etc etc.
We're no different, and we completely agree - it's really hard to keep on top of everything all at once!
In this week's Transformation Tip, we wanted to share a few

Rain zapped your energy? Here's how to get back on track!
Thursday, October 18, 2018 | By Luke Archer
If you live in Brissy, there's no doubt you've been indoors a lot over the past week or so.
It's been raining so much!
And if you're used to being outdoors a lot, or you have little kids at home with you, you may be going a little bit stir crazy.
If you are feeling a bit out of sorts, and it's affecting your eating/exercise/sleeping/hydration habits, this week's Transformation Ti

I was out of my comfort zone
Thursday, October 11, 2018 | By Luke Archer
I had to laugh.
(Actually, Rachael did most of the laughing, as you'll see).
We were midway through this week's Transformation Tip, and all of a sudden, different filters started appearing on our faces in the video, without us doing anything!
It was like my Facebook account was hacked or something?!
And I just found the whole thing really ironic.

Hang out with people who inspire you!
Thursday, September 20, 2018 | By Luke Archer
When you think of the word "inspiration," what comes up for you?
Do you think of an athlete or a movie star?
Do you think of some great moment in time, where someone achieved something life-changing?
Or do you think of a parent, coach or mentor, leading the way?
Well, I can think of people in all of those categories, and I can also add friends and team mates into that list, too

Fat Burning RECIPE!
Friday, September 14, 2018 | By Luke Archer
This is one of my all time favourite salads!
I love it so much because:
- It's easy to prepare (literally takes minutes)
- It's full of crunch. This means my body has to work hard to digest it, which means more fat is being burnt
- It's really tasty and versatile; pair it with any protein source for a complete meal.
This week's video includes the recipe for my Crunchy Bro

Are you the hunter or the hunted?
Thursday, September 06, 2018 | By Luke Archer
I love the feeling of ticking off every item on my to-do list.
You too?
There's nothing better than getting to the end of the day and knowing I've achieved everything I set out to!
On the days this happens, I know that I've been really good at managing my time.
I will have blocked out time to get certain tasks done and I would have had little to no distractions.

Finding a reason, rather than an excuse
Thursday, August 30, 2018 | By Luke Archer
It was 5:30am.
It was dark.
It was pouring with rain.
I dragged myself out of bed and walked the hallway to my daughters' room, where my kids and wife were nestled, peacefully.
"What are we going to do?" I asked my wife.
It was the morning of the Bridge to Brisbane, and we were entered to run/walk.
The kids were coming with us, too.
As much as I wanted to go
