Family... Some of the most important people in everyones life. What does Family have to do with health and fitness you may be thinking, They bring happiness and happiness is a big part of health.
To me my family are the most important people in my life They are always there for me and support me in everything, they also give me there opinion on things and kick me into line when needed. I have a big family my mums side is Italian and my dads side is Australian most of mums family live in WA and same with dads. Im very close with everyone both sides of family get on so well we are like 1 big family. They are people that always can make me smile. I feel like It is a good thing to catch up once a week and thats what we do. Your family should be people you can Turn to.

Being a Personal Trainer

Being a personal trainer to me is the best job in the world. Im helping people achieve there goals I get to see people change from an overweight person with an unhealthy lifestyle to becoming fit and healthy and I get to be apart of that, its so amazing. I train 12 or more clients a day, some sessions are group sessions with 2-5 people that are more bootcamp ourdoor style training but I do take them in the gym, I also do one one with my clients. I sit down with my clients once a week and discuss diet plans and their progress, I think this is so important. I believe that you should vary clients training from indoor to outdoor to boxing to cardio I make sure they are doing different things. Helping people is so amazing and thats what makes me get up at 5:30am or 5:00am or even sometimes 4:30 or 4:45am. How I became a PT was I went to TAFE and got my certificate III in fitness then I got my certificate IV in fitness which were great courses. Then I became a PT at an old school gym with only around 3 other PT's, it was such a great learning experience I worked there for about 7 months then a great job came up at the gym I work at now which includes Old school and New school sections Its great I have been working here for 3 years now and I have loved every minute. I have made such great friends with other PT's at my gym and im great friends with some of clients. I really recomend becoming a personal trainer lots of early wakeups but its great.

You Still Have to Have FUN!

Watching your weight or living a healthy lifestyle doesn't you cant go out for dinner or have a night with friends. So many people think you can't do this. I tell my clients you can still go out but choose the healthy option, all restaurants have healthy things on there menu and they taste amazing too. Whether it is a steak and chips and salad ask for potato instead or just leave some of your chips or it could be some sort of pasta chose a tomato based pasta instead of creamy. You wont feel like you are missing out. Another thing I tell my clients who are not trying to loose weight is the rule of one treat meal a week, I do this as well. I usally do alot of social things with friends and family on weekends and even during the week but I usally save my treat meal to the weekend. I plan around that meal. Say if I know im going out to dinner on Saturday with friends I will say right I will have my treat meal then and If I know im going to mums the next day for lunch unfortunatly I have to miss out on dessert! For a treat meal have whatever you want if you want a creamy pasta dish or a cheese burger from maccas or a cremé brulé HAVE IT! its a treat meal but make sure you work out the next day! This is way of still having fun a glass of wine or a beer and have you deserve it after a week if eating well and exercising! Thanks for reading Xx Jessica

Ladies lets go makeup free!

Listening to my favourite perth radio this morning Lisa Paul and Baz on 92.9 I heard that they were talking about ladies/girls feeling pressure to wear makeup or not feeling confident and wearing it to the gym. Ladies just letting you know you are all beautiful in different ways so no need for the makeup! Im not going to say I have never felt the pressure of having to wear makeup. This has been an on going issue for me, as a 14 15 year old girl it started I felt like I wasnt pretty enough so turned to makeup and oh im telling you turning to makeup, WORST FREAKING MISTAKE EVER. When I wasnt wearing makeup I thought I was totally ugly. This problem went on for so many years. Until my nonno passed away and I learnt what was important in life not worrying about how pretty you are. Now I feel comfortable in not wearing any makeup and my boyfriend of 2 years has made this an easier journey before. I know people who dont like wearing no makeup in front of there boyfriend or husband thats just wrong. GIRLS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Girls wearing makeup to the gym is just gross your there to get hot and sweaty not look pretty. Sometimes because im a personal trainer I will do a workout in the gym once im done work and I have makeup on That a new story I understand that people have work. So Lisa Paul and Baz have organised a makeup free day tomorrow so be a part of it like I am and go NO MAKEUP! Xx Jessica

Outdoor Workout

You dont need no fancy gym to workout! You guys have no clue about how many times of heard someone say "I havent worked out before because I dont have the money to afford going to a gym". THAT IS AN EXCUSE! you dont need a damn gym! To be honest I 100% prefer being outdoors doing a workout than being in a gym and guess what its free! With my clients I dont train them everyday so I somedays take them outdoors and do and outdoor workout with them so they dont slack off when im not training them! I love a good morning beach run its one of my favourite things to do on a Saturday or Sunday I love waking up getting my workout gear on and going for a bare foot run on the beach with my music playing. Somedays I wakeup early and run and watch the sunrise come up on the beach. With myself and with clients I like to go to the closet park and do an old school hardcore workout including sprints,situps,pushups,burpies and at home and at the gym I workout we have sandbags so I include them in the workout, OH and cant forget the good old dreaded army crawl crowd fave uhhh not! Another type of workout is a boxing workout pick up a set of boxing gloves and you need a workout partner for this, My partner is usally my boyfriend who does boxing sessions at least 2x a week! So he is great to set up workouts for me and motivate me I suggest you chose someone really motivating! I get my boyfriend to hold the gloves for me why I punch. I do this at my local park but its easy enough to do it in your backyard. When I do this with clients and with my boyfriend I include other exercises as well such as pushups ect. I love including leg kicks as well great for toning the leg. Cycling is fun and great workout I love to do it with a group of clients or a group of friends. Somethong that I do sometimes is ride a few kms get off and do 15 burpies and repeat a few times changing the exercise every time, good to change it up. These are only a few suggestions so get active no excuses! Xx Jessica
