Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
This space is for motivation, information and everything I love about health, fitness and anything in between... I’m a personal trainer who believes that you can design your body and be the person you want to be if you put your mind to it. Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Flavoured Water




Water is the most critical nutrient for life. Your body is 60% water and needs it for Hydration, recovery, digestion, satiation, temperature regulation, skin improvement, health and joint lubrication and so much more.
So they say we need about 8 glasses a day, but we all know how boring water can get!
Adding some flavouring can help you drink more. If you want to stay away from artificial additives and caffeine, you can add some flavour to your water the natural way with:
  • A twist of lemon or lime (or a little juice)
  • A small piece of fruit
  • Herbal tea bags
  • Quarter an orange, squeeze in all of the juice, then toss in the squeezed quarters for colour and extra flavour.
  • Mash up a handful of strawberries or raspberries with a fork then add to the jug and stir through.
  • Scrunch a handful of fresh mint in your hands to get the flavour going then add that to the jug with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, add a few slices of cucumber too. It might sound strange, but it is seriously refreshing.
