Coconut Chocolate Protein Ice cream

By | Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Nutrition, Recipes, Uncategorized | No Comments

This recipe came about after we decided to put the Chocolate Mousse in the Freezer, and it is absolutely delicious!

Funnily we bumped into one of our clients who said they did the exact same thing, so it must be the natural evolution of this creation 🙂

You will need:

1 Whole Coconut (or tin of Coconut Cream)

Purest on the Planet Chocolate Protein Powder

Raw Cacao

Honey

Method

If you are using a fresh coconut, chop the top off, scoop out the coconut flesh and pour out the coconut water into the blender (we use a Vitamix). Blitz it all up into coconut cream (or just pour a tin of coconut cream into the blender).

Add equal parts Purest on the Planet Chocolate Protein Powder and Raw Cacao into the Coconut Cream and blend in the blender until combined and creamy thick consistency. (Example 3-4 Scoops of each).

Add honey and mix in to taste.

Pour into an ice cream container or alternatively into individual servings (such as freezer-proof ramekins) and pop in the freezer to set.

Enjoy!

You can serve with fresh berries or fruit or variation below:

Variation

Try putting some fresh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or grapes in the bottom of the container as you pour over the ice cream mixture, and it tastes absolutely delicious once frozen!

Life is all about enjoyment and making things easier and when you have delicious recipes like this one up your sleeve, it becomes effortless to stay on track because you literally never feel like you are depriving yourself!

I was chatting to someone the other day who was saying it is so ‘hard’ to stay on track and how it was so ‘easy’ to eat the wrong foods – This is just a simple case of mindset, what could be easier than peeling a banana or chomping into an apple for a snack, or having a zip-lock bag of nuts handy when you are peckish?

It often comes down to the fact that we are bombarded with marketing campaigns designed to make us crave the ‘unhealthy’ foods, and these companies put all sorts of things and ingredients in these foods to find that ‘sweet spot’ that makes you crave and keep coming back for more.

But when you take your nutrition in to your own hands, and stick to the delicious foods Mother Nature has provided, you will not only notice a difference in your energy and vitality (not to mention weight loss!) but also a difference in your taste buds as you start to re-adjust.

If you are struggling with nutrition and looking for healthy alternatives that you actually enjoy we would love to help you more so make sure you send us a message or give us a call today!

 

Have a wonderful day and we will see you at training 🙂

Give Mum The Gift of ‘Me Time’

By | Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Personal Training, Pilates, Training, Uncategorized, Yoga | No Comments

Do you feel like you are always running around looking after everybody else; and you’re wondering  when it’s going to be ‘your turn’ to do something for yourself?

After training women of all ages over the past 10+ years, one of the most common themes we hear from women when booking in to come and see us is “I’m so glad to be finally doing something for myself!”

As women we are often really good at putting the needs of others as a priority, whether that is our kids, our partners, our businesses or our work, the household, or even the pets!

Yet it is so important to take time out to nurture and re-energise ourselves or else our own ‘well runs dry’ and we are easily left feeling completely exhausted and depleted from giving, giving, giving!!

One of the side effects from ‘over-giving’ is feeling snappy, resentful or even just simply lethargic and downright tired. Yet when we take time out to focus on ourselves and our needs, we feel re-energised, nurtured, cared for and happy, and then this happiness overflows into every area of our life and we are able to better serve those who we love and who need us most.

Is there a special woman in your life who you know can relate to this?

Or are you craving to ‘treat’ yourself, in order to be the best person you can be for those you love?

With Mother’s Day just around the corner it is the perfect time to focus on nurturing the women in our lives who do so much for us on a constant basis.

We have put together some amazing specials especially for Mum’s in conjunction with our ‘May Specials’ on our Yoga and Women’s Wellness Classes and Personal Training Packages, so to find out more or organise a Gift Voucher just in time for Mother’s Day this Sunday (or to simply treat yourself!) send us a message now and we will send you more details:

Double Your Results in Half The Time

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Sometimes when we know what to do, but just aren’t following through and doing it, an easy way to fix this is create a “Challenge” for a fixed period of time so that you can put in the extra effort to achieve your goals.

Most of the principles that we teach are lifestyle orientated and designed to be maintainable long-term as part of a balanced lifestyle. But sometimes bad habits can easily creep back in, and we just need an extra “Oomph” to kick start our good habits back into gear and send the bad habits packing.

This is why we run our Boot Camps, Yoga and Programs in 6-12 week “blocks”. A period of time where you can set your goal for that time period, and make the most of the extra help provided to you to stay extra motivated and follow through with achieving your goals.

For a long time now we have stuck to 12 week rounds, however recently we decided to mix it up and create shorter, 6 week rounds, designed to help you stay even MORE motivated for this SHORTER time period.

We were also inspired by our client David, who came to us at the beginning of the year and before the last 12 week Boot Camp set the goal to lose 10 kilos, and ended up reaching that goal half way through at around the 6 week mark, and then went on to lose a total of 20kilos in 12 weeks! (Again, a true credit to you, awesome work David!!!!)

So our challenge to you, whether you are joining us at training or just doing your own home training:

What do you want to achieve in the next 6 weeks?

Where are you at, right now, in terms of your nutrition and training? (Where can you improve, where are you already doing well?)

What things can you do that you haven’t been doing that will make the biggest difference to speed up your results?

Where can you ask for help if you need it so that you power ahead towards your goals?

We would love to hear from you, let us know at training or in the comments below 🙂

Whole Coconut Drink

By | Inspiration, Nutrition, Recipes, Uncategorized | No Comments

Can’t get a much better whole food drink than this one after a big day and it tastes amazing.

With the added benefit of giving your body electrolytes and good fats, it also has an antibacterial effect to clean the stomach.
Pour the coconut water into the blender with all of the flesh and some ice. Blend to perfection.

Enjoy!

Salmon Mushroom Cups

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Here is a super EASY and QUICK (and delicious!) recipe you can try that we came up with last week:

Salmon Mushroom Cups

All you will need is three main ingredients:

1. The biggest, freshest, field mushrooms you can find

2. A can of salmon (or tuna) we found the soy and ginger one from Aldi delicious

3. Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper / Parmasen cheese to sprinkle on top

Just get some of the big delicious field mushrooms, crack open a can of salmon (or you could use tuna), we found a soy and ginger one from Aldi was delicious, top with salt and pepper and a little parmasen cheese, pop in the oven and bake until juicy and golden on top!

We created a side of Kale chips by placing some chopped Kale around the mushrooms and baking alongside (just spray with Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray and a sprinkle of pink himalayan sea salt) some steamed broccoli and cherry tomatoes.

This healthy meal is so quick, and filling, and literally takes only a few minutes to prepare.

Have fun, get creative and let us know how you go!

Inspirational Transformations – Kerri

By | Boot Camps, Client Transformations, Fresh Fitness Wall of Fame, Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Personal Training, Training, Uncategorized | No Comments

We are so honoured to be a part of such an amazing and inspirational transformation journey with Kerri!! 🙂

From Day 1 Kerri has been proactive, positive, disciplined, determined and in less than 4 months has achieved amazing results. She has not only reached her goals, but kept going and set new goals, continuing to move forward and has completely transformed her healthy habits, lifestyle, mind, body and spirit.

In her Personal Training with Carlie Kerri lost 6 Kilos in her first 6 weeks, then went on to lost 12.5 Kilos by the time of writing her story below, and has now lost a total of 14.5 Kilos by the time we are now publishing this blog post!! (By the time you are reading this she has probably smashed another goal!!) 🙂

You are amazing Kerri, we are so proud of your awesome results, you are a total inspiration and we know that with your positive attitude and exceptional mindset that your new new healthy habits and lifestyle will be long lasting, this is just the beginning!!

Read on for Kerri’s story below:

 

“My name is Kerri – 4 months ago I was at a low point. Overweight, bad diet, unhappy about my appearance and lacking energy for my 3 and a half year old. I needed a change, it was something I had been thinking about for some time, just didn’t know where to start. My sister rang Fresh Fitness and talked to Carlie to tell her of my situation (because I was too scared). Carlie was completely understanding and told her to tell me to come in for a chat. To which I did and from that day, my life changed completely.

My excuse was always the same. How am I going to fit any exercise in to my day? “I’m a full time working mother to a 3 year old and a wife, I don’t have time for that!!” Now I need to do something every day. 1 Hour of exercise out of my day and I feel so much happier, more energised and it’s just a part of everyday now.

Training with Carlie is the best thing I ever started. She is friendly, helpful, fun & motivating – we share recipes and the exercise is always varied and I walk away feeling like I’ve had a great work out. Thanks to her help, I have lost (so far) 12 Kgs. In addition to the exercise, Carlie has helped me with my diet changes, made me start having breakfast and generally gives me great advice and direction to which I follow.

As a lover of all things fashion, I can once again fit in to nice clothes, my family and I have a new healthy diet and I have lots of energy to run around with my son. I am very grateful for the help I’ve had from Carlie and Shea and am looking forward to training and learning even more from them in the future.”

Inspirational Transformations – Adele

By | Boot Camps, Boxing, Client Transformations, Fresh Fitness Wall of Fame, Inspiration, Motivation, Training, Uncategorized | No Comments

Well done to our Boot Camp member Adele who has lost over 12kilos at our last Boot Camp which is double what she set out to achieve, and is now fitter, stronger, healthier and at her lowest weight even before her first pregnancy. Adele has such a positive energy and it has been a pleasure to see her amazing results and inspirational transformation! Well done Adele!!

Read on for Adele’s story…

“I signed up for my first boot camp with Fresh Fitness in September, having given birth to my second child 6 months earlier. My brother and his fiancée had completed a number of Fresh Fitness boot camps and I had witnessed their incredible results first hand, so when I wanted to regain some core strength and fitness (and hopefully lose some more of the weight I’d gained during my pregnancy) I decided to give boot camp a go.

I have never been very athletic, and I was hesitant and nervous going along for the first time, but Carlie and Shea were so supportive and encouraging and they facilitate such a friendly environment that I immediately felt at ease. Their ‘challenge by choice’ philosophy meant that I could take things at my own pace, but at the same time their encouragement compelled me to push myself further. I found Shea and Carlie to be very accessible. They were only too willing to provide guidance with regards to nutrition and exercise and I found, as I followed their instructions, the weight started to come off. I began to look forward to the sessions and enjoyed the fact that each night was something different.

Fast forward 12 weeks and I am feeling stronger, fitter and happier. I have lost 12kgs which is double what I set out to lose and has me at my lowest weight since before my first pregnancy. I am so grateful to Carlie and Shea for the incredible service that they provide and I found that I enjoyed the sessions so much that I’ve signed up for the next boot camp and can’t wait to take my journey further.” Adele Prickett
