Holiday workout - and healthy snack

So, I always talk about not letting your motivation and fitness slip when we go away on holidays. It is so easy to slip in to our old routines of not working out.

I was away on my honeymoon, and despite travelling a lot, I still managed to work out 5-6 times in the 3 weeks. And not just little ones either, but full strong ones. But I also have shown 3 simple exercises that won't take long and that you can do anywhere. It just happened to be this one in Sydney with glorious sun-shine. Enjoy the view of the harbour.

I have also given a recipe for some healthy snacks that are easy to make, and will give you are great boost straight after your workout. So enjoy and keep the faith



Healthy bars: So easy to make, even adults will like them: 4 bars: 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup cashewbutter or peanut butter 3/4 cup porridge oats chopped nuts or dried fruits Melt the honey and cashew butter until liquid, then add fruit and oats. Roll up until hardened. Flatten out on plate, put in fridge. For energy snack bar, add 1 scoop of whey protein powder

Love, drive, and pure motivation

No gimmicks on this post.

Without love we are nothing. If we dont have love we don't get to have a great life.

Richard Branson once said "Enjoy life, you only get one!".

But if your life is one in a wheelchair because you have cerebral palsy you are not suppose to do much, right? Wrong.

Rick Hoyt has CP, but he also has the love of his dad Dick. And that love takes them on adventures together, and the pure motivation that Dick has to ensure his son has a life filled with love and quality goes beyond just the will to do something special.

I ask of you all just this.: Watch the video below. Get inspired, get motivation. If you do one thing today, let it be one of love or motivation. Ring a family member, a friend or someone you haven't spoken to in a while. Tell them how you are doing. Or you can make one change in your life, or do something good.

Take inspiration from the video, and keep the faith
