"I love boxing! Why can't we do it all the time?" My ICE (http://www.mpstudio.com.au/services/ice-group-training) clients love boxing. And I agree! It's a really fun workout to do, and I can understand why they want to do it all the time. But when your goal is fat loss, you simply can't do the same sort of exercise all the time and expect to strip fat from your body. We ..

Most people think that to have a rockin' body, they need to sacrifice all the things they love to eat. Chocolate, coffee, bread, vino, eating out at restaurants... These are things we love to eat and drink, yet most diets wipe them off the menu completely. This is one of the reasons why so many diets fail - they leave you feeling deprived, like you're missing out on the good things i ..

I looked at the muffin and thought, "That will make me feel better." I was tired, overwhelmed and emotional - and it was only 10:30am. Standing at the counter holding Isabella, while Luke was paying for our coffees, the thought actually crossed my mind that a muffin was the answer to my problems. And you know what? Had I eaten it, it probably would have been.... For just a m ..

Congratulations to the Awesome Foursome - Jodi, Pammy, Cathy and Lynn - our MVPs for last week! These amazing ladies just completed their first 12 Week Transformation Challenge and achieved some phenomenal results! As a group, they lost a massive 107cm!

Congratulations to Cathy Jeffries, our MVP for last week! Cathy is currently in week 12 of her 12 Week Challenge - which in itself is a huge milestone to celebrate! Not everyone completes the full 12 weeks. In fact, in the past, we've seen many people begin the Challenge, only to give it all up just weeks after making the initial commitment. Life gets in the way - kids, family, work,  ..

Prior to having my baby, Isabella, I thought that getting my workouts in would be simple. "I've got plenty of support," I told myself. "I'll just put the baby down with some toys and she can play while I workout," I reasoned. Well, even though I do have lots of support and yes, Isabella has a LARGE variety of toys to choose from, getting consistent workouts in is a challenge! Ge ..

Have you ever wondered what determines whether you achieve great results or not? In the past, I've had some awesome programs, where I've achieved heaps and been incredibly proud of my hard work. I've also experienced the crappy feeling of reaching the end of a 12 week training block and asking myself, "What the hell was all of that for?" Today marks the beginning of my ..

I don't know about you, but I love a good nacho dish! This week's recipe is a bit more of a healthy version to the traditional nachos, so enjoy - guilt-free! Ingredients: Canola oil 8 wholegrain tortillas, cut into triangles 1 brown onion, finely diced 1 garlic clove, crushed 2 tomatoes, finely chopped 500g beef mince 1 tablespoon gro ..
