So on the weekend I started the twomeys experiment, beginning with a 5km benchmark run, the colon cleanse yesterday and following up with a 5km run today. And I have to admit there have been a few surprises to come out of this experiment so far that I think are worth noting. 1. Herbs can be […]

The Twomeys Experiment – The Plan
posted by Fitmidget
So over the last few weeks I have been chatting with a delightful man named Gerrard Twomey who is the founder/director/producer of a range of natural sports and arthritis creams called Twomey’s. Gerrard, knowing I was a fitness enthusiast called me to ask me if I’d like to do a trial with some of his all […]

Following on from an epic metabolic conditioning session involving butt gusting double unders, one arm dumbbell snatches, handstand push ups, sit ups, 600m sprints, decline ab sit ups and bicep curls it was no surprise I was absolutely starving by the time I got home from the gym last night! And in the words of […]

posted by Fitmidget
After being nagged but a certain trail runner who recently found themselves overloaded with Chia seeds and no idea what to do with them I decided to post my recipe for Chia Seed Fresca to help them out. Being both an avid reader and runner I was introduced to the book ’Born To Run’ two years ago. […]

Hello readers, my apologies for my terrible tardiness in posting. However tis the season to be jolly in the land of fitmidget and I’ve certainly been doing plenty of that. Nevertheless amongst my festivities I have had more time to be in the kitchen much to the relief of Dean, and in the mix I’ve also cottoned […]

My Favourite Cheat Snack
posted by Fitmidget
I was enthusiastic over the weekend to try and use up some of the many nuts and packets of almond flour I had in the cupboard. And so I decided to make a couple of my all time favourites. One being Paleo Choc Chip Cookies. Now I know chocolate certainly isn’t all that paleo, but I like to make […]
Breakfast on the run!

Finding myself racing to the gym for training, hurriedly showering and then busting out in the Nug mobile to go see my massage therapist meant I was stuck for time with my post workout snack this morning. Nevertheless I had prepared a little beauty of a snack late last night to accommodate for such situations. This little gem is so […]

Being in the fitness industry for over a decade now means that I am commonly being asked questions by new clients about everything exercise related you could possibly think of who want to know everything to help them lose the weight fast.

Salmon & 4 Veg – Din Dins for two!
posted by Fitmidget
As per normal I was faced with the usual dilemma. Bugger. It was Wednesday night, traditionally my cooking night and I had absolutely no idea what I was going to cook! A long stroll through the supermarket ignited a brain wave. Fish, we haven’t had fish for a while. Normally I’m super anal about making sure fish is […]
Low Fat, 99% Fat Free, No Sugar, 50% Less sugar. How to interpret the Goobleegoo.

Marketing. Food Companies invest millions per year in marketing their products to the willing consumer by finding nice little ways to highlight all the benefits on their packaging while fineprinting the unhealthy or more negative ingredients. Which brings me to a question I was recently asked about Yoghurt. The question was: is normal yoghurt better for you or low fat? One of […]
A breakfast of Champions!

I was up and atom this morning with a new determination to clean up my diet a bit more since it had faltered a few times over the last week. So with a renewed enthusiasm, and a double training session scheduled this morning I put together my nut based muesli fresh strawberries, blueberries, dollop of yoghurt and […]
The second risotto I’ve ever made in my life
posted by Fitmidget
So here I am quite chuffed with myself after having just finished cooking the second risotto I’ve ever made in my life. After having blown up a microwave cooking 2 minute noodles, and burning various pots and tea towels in my bachelorette days it’s no wonder I was labelled a disaster in the kitchen. Hell, my mum even laughed in my face when I asked […]
