As a fitness, Fitbit and flatlay fan I thought I’d share the top things I reach for when it comes working out.
I initially wrote this piece whilst working on my blog collaboration with Fitbit Australia - writing my Little Bit of Fit blog (see below!). I liked it so much, and received so much great feedback on it, I thought I'd elaborate on the details and post it out as a mini blog update...
I'm no stranger to fitness and a little bit of a geek at heart, so it was only a matter of time before I jumped on the Fitness Tracker wagon. Which I did, two years ago actually - logging every last bit of my active Aussie lifestyle via my trusty Fitbit Flex. Simple in design, and definitely durable enough to withstand more than a few knocks and galah pecks, this piece of kit has tracked my basic steps, distance and sleep data on and off for the past couple of years.
But alas, my Flex was beginning to look a little sad and defeated… So when a brand spanking new Fitbit Alta arrived in the post for me to review last month I was *just a little bit* excited to upgrade my wrist candy tracker.
I've loved exploring (and tracking) all the different features the Fitbit Alta offers over the past month - and taking a heap of pictures along the way (seriously, I took TOO MANY and they took forever to edit!)... In this review, I also share my favourite fitness essential flatlay featuring the top items I reach for when it comes working out. Enjoy!
You can probably tell from my blog and Instagram that I’m a little obsessed with Yoga and Pilates. Practicing both regularly as part of a healthy lifestyle and exercise routine keeps me in the best shape – and my mind centred and balanced.
At the end of last year, a few girlfriends and I headed out to Kookaburra Creek in the Perth Hills for a Yoga Day Retreat, ran by three gorgeous yogis; Hayley, Sara and Susie. We enjoyed ourselves so much (hell, I even blogged about it!), we decided to book places on their Summer Yoga Retreat which took place at the tranquil, green, spacious and serene Cottesloe Civic Centre - without doubt, the perfect venue for a day of chilled relaxation and restoration...
Two yoga enthusiasts, a mean 4x4 and 2 kilometres of pure white, crisp sand dunes…
Tucked away just behind the pretty bay town of Lancelin, about an hour and a half drive north of Perth, the Lancelin sand dunes are the largest in Western Australia consisting of nothing but pure white, fine sand. They are approx. two kilometres long, three storeys high and because of the lack of vegetation (none, zilch, zero), they provide the perfect spot for dirt bikes, four wheel driving, sand-boarding... and Yoga.
Yep, you read that right. Yoga.
NAMAST'AY IN BED is about as Yogic as I felt at 7am last Sunday morning.
Admittedly this was a result of the Beauvine Festival 'tasting' a group of us had indulged in the night before, but 7am on a Sunday? Yikes.
A few months ago, a group of us booked places on a springtime Yoga day retreat up in the Perth Hills, for a day of chilled relaxation and recuperation.
We were also totally enthralled at the notion of chanting...
