The BEST at home fitness videos

Cassey Ho - Blogilates - 
Find it on: YouTube


Cassey Ho has tons of videos on YouTube. Any muscle group you want to work, including cardio, she has you covered! Not only that, but Cassey is also great because shes super bubbly and her chat will often distract you from the hurt.
My favourite of Casseys workouts are her extreme abs collection.




Tony Horton - P90X
Find it on: Paid Subscription

P90x is high intensity and gives you a serious workout. Perfect for cold and rainy days when you can't go workout outside, you will get a serious workout from this.
my personal favourite of all the videos is the plyometrics workout.




Shaun T -Insanity -
Find it on: some on YouTube, most subscription

Insanity is in the same ball park as P90X. high intensity, real hard work. You will get a serious workout with these videos and the collections offers videos to suit what ever type of fitness you are after.
Be warned, this is some advanced fitness, but it will result in some serious gains.

Clean Eats


CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BALLS - NO SUGAR, NO BAKE
These chocolate peanut butter no-bake energy bites taste just like a cookie, although they are full of protein and naturally sweetened

iNGREDIENTS
·        1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats, although use gluten-free oats if making this GF)
·        2/3 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
·        1/2 cup peanut butter
·        1/2 cup ground flax seed
·        1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
·        1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
·        1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
·        1 teaspoon vanilla extract

dIRECTIONS
1.    Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, to make the mix easier to handle and mold.
2.   Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1" in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
3.    Makes about 20-25 balls.
*If the mix seems to dry, add in an extra tablespoon or two of honey or peanut butter.  If the mix seems too wet (which may happen if you use natural peanut butter), add extra oatmeal.

Interval training



A selection of my favourite fitness workouts



Interval 1:Netball Sprints

30 sec sprints - working to reach your first sprint

Interval 2: Cone sprints

Set up a series of different coloured cones along the length of one or two courts or a field. The number of cones and distance between them depends on your fitness level
Begin sprinting  from the base line, make sure to hit every cone, return to the base line and out again to the next cone (shuttles).
After each full set, remove one cone and repeat. Keep going until just one cone remains.
