Sweat Republic – Augustine by Kelly Coe Review

One of my goals for the remainder of this year is to get back into regular fitness and workouts. Over the past few months I’ve discovered a love for boxing (who’d have guessed?!) and discovered it’s such a great way to keep fit. I’m also loving my stretching and yoga too, as well as walking. Since my…

My Postpartum Fitness Plan

If you had told me two years ago that I’d write the next sentence, I would have laughed. But right now I really really miss working out. As you might know if you’ve been following my blog for a while, at the start of 2017 I started at the gym and was absolutely loving how fit and…

Fitbit Alta HR Review

A while back I did a review of the Fitbit Charge 2 and it was such a popular post. So much so, that I’ve teamed up with Fitbit to bring you a review of the new Fitbit Alta HR. While I loved my Charge 2, there were a few issues I had in regards to the size…

Recovery Drinks + My Lululemon Obsession

Lululemon is one brand I was a bit late to the party with, but now absolutely love. I bought my first Lululemon piece at the start of this year, and it’s safe to say I’m now obsessed. Yes, it’s a little pricier, but the pieces are so stylish and made from the best fabrics, so it’s definitely…

Why Workout Gloves Are A Good Idea

Since I’ve started doing weights at the gym, my poor hands have taken a beating. Yes, I’m probably a bit of a wuss, but I’m definitely a girly girl and my hands are pretty soft. The continual picking up and lifting of weights has meant that I’ve ended up with some pretty nasty blisters and calluses as…

Current Lower Body Workout

Following on from my Upper Body Workout Routine, here is what exercises I do when I want to train my lower body. Leg day for me is always the hardest as I still have issues with my left leg from an operation I had on it ten years ago. They cut through the muscle near my knee…

Current Upper Body Workout

I’ve been at the gym over five months now! Man time has flown and over the months I’ve worked out what things I enjoy doing and the best ways to do them. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, but I feel like I’ve finally settled into a workout routine that I love. I try to…

I Cancelled My Gym Membership?

I know what you’re thinking….Sarah you’ve just been telling us how much you love the gym and you’ve gone and cancelled your membership? Why!? Well, I’ve decided to swap gyms so I’ve ended my membership at Anytime Fitness Dunedin Central in order to change to Moana Pool Gym. I’ve done this for a number of reasons…. First…

Getting Active With Fitwear

Before I started going to the gym, I didn’t really own any activewear. When I was mucking around the house, I’d just usually wear a pair of PJ pants or jeans, and if I went for a walk I’d wear my one pair of leggings that I owned. When I started working out, I wanted to look…

Wait, I Put On Weight?

So it’s been about two and a half months since I joined the gym, and I’ve been trying to go 4-5 times a week at the moment, and I’ve actually managed this most weeks!  I’ve  really surprised myself with how dedicated I’ve become to going, and how much fun I’m actually having as I am definitely not a…
