While HIIT is a great way to increase fitness, one question I get asked a lot, in person and in the blog comments, is "what to do if you're a beginner"? High impact or high-intensity workouts are great for fat burning but they aren't really suitable for beginners. Or maybe you're working around an injury, there are workouts you can continue to do in order to y fit. I suggest something less intense, like this 15 minute Mat Pilates Workout! Did you know that Pilates was originally created …

5 minute core workout
Happy Workout Wednesday! I have my Lorna Jane "Happy" tank on so let's do a 5 minute core workout you can do ANYWHERE! That's been the theme of the workouts this month in case you hadn't noticed.

Pilates Circle Abs & Thigh Workout
So recently I got the chance to try out a Pilates Circle by Infinito. They sent me their pilates circle for free in exchange for a fair and honest review and I figured hey let's kill two birds with one stone and make it a workout post for the blog! I'm all about multitasking. I'll be totally honest and admit that pilates isn't something I do a lot of. In fact it's something I rarely do, and doing pilates workouts brings back flashbacks of pilates and PiYo training which were fun times, but I get …

The Ultimate running belt
This is a sponsored post written by me on the behalf of The Ultimate Sports Pro. Whilst it is a sponsored post any opinions cited below are my own. I'm going to preface this post with a little bit about myself. I use my running belts for more than running. I use them for running, walking, for just everyday round the house listening to music when I'm dancing in my kitchen cooking, vacuuming, gardening... why? Because yoga pants don't have pockets! Which is clearly a design flaw on yoga pants, …
