Do you include resistance training in your weekly

Do you include resistance training in your weekly exercise routine?

For women, resistance training is super important not just for improving strength and toning, but also to help prevent osteoporosis later in life.

This year I've shaken things up for the GGG Online Squad membership - live training sessions now include upper body/core resistance on Mondays, and lower body/core on Wednesdays (along with the usual slow flow yoga to cap things off on a Friday).

During these online classes we use a set of dumbells, but if you haven't got some you can sub for just about anything (Filled water bottles! Food cans!) or take the equipment-free options.

If you've got any questions about resistance training or would like to join me in the Online Squad, send me a DM for more info 💪

Hope everyone is faring okay this week! I've been

Hope everyone is faring okay this week! I've been pretty quiet over the past year or so - between pandemic, homeschooling, the kids' extracurricular activities and now, flooding! When I get stressed and busy, social media is one of the first things I ditch (not so great when you have an online business but anxiety is a b*tch!), so my focus lately has been more towards the kids and the Online Squad membership.

I'm going to be making more of an effort this year to juggle things better, jump online and give you more tips to nail your health and wellness goals - if you have any questions about exercise, nutrition, yoga, mindset, prenatal/postpartum training (or even Auckland life or homeschooling) hit me up!

Are you building yourself up with activities you n

Are you building yourself up with activities you need for self care?

My 4-year-old daughter has been struggling with confidence, social situations and big emotional outbursts in the second half of this year and we've been making changes to help her work through it.

We:
- Brought her bed time earlier to give her more rest.
- Taught her to self-regulate in a quiet, dark space (her room, the kindy library) to soothe her stress response.
- Shortened her kindy days to improve energy levels and give more time at home.
- Reduced the activities that seemed to trigger stress, adding ballet and gymnastics to help build confidence and happiness.
- TV and screen time is bare minimum (she can ask to listen to music whenever she wants).
- Regularly remind her of yoga breathing techniques and calming poses to help her self regulate.

The turnaround from these changes has been amazing! She now sleeps better through the night. There are no more tantrums and emotional outbursts are easy to calm. She now rarely worries about social situations and her previous anxiety issues seem to be gone. She generally seems a lot happier.

Mental wellbeing shouldn't be underrated! Imagine if all grown ups took similar steps for self-care...

Teaching E to knit! She's getting the hang of it pretty quickly and has set her sights on making a scarf 💖 Home schooling exemption request sent off... looking forward to starting this journey officially!

Anyone done the home schooling thing before/doing it already? Got any tips?

Our exercise... our nutrition... our yoga... it won't always be perfect, and that's okay! Sometimes you just gotta do whatever you can within your capacity today and that's enough to tick the box 💖

Then take a deep breath, reset, and give it another go tomorrow.

Today was all about food prep! My family is really into bagels right now but on my last shopping trip the supermarket was sold out 😫

It motivated me to make some myself and I think they turned out pretty good! Super easy AND the kids said they liked mine better than the store bought ones 😏

Recipe going up on the GGG website later tonight ❤

Who loves feijoas? 🙋 Feijoa, Apple & Honey Muff

Who loves feijoas? 🙋 Feijoa, Apple & Honey Muffins were a huge fave in my household this past week. Find the recipe in my bio - low in table sugar, they have plenty of sweetness from the honey and fruit.

Honey for this recipe was provided by @gillardhoneynz
