9 Easy workout ideas for beginners

As someone who loves to workout and holds a gym membership, I sometimes forget what it’s like to start from square a when working out. Now that I’m finally getting back into my regular workout routine since the concussion, I’ve decided to dedicate this months blog post to help those starting at point a to get to point be; obviously, this may be too easy for you, or you may already know all this stuff,, but it’s still good to be reminded about it as a beginner you should be aiming for 30 minutes of cardio every day and strength training twice a week for two to three month depending on your fitness goals remember to always stretch before a workout you don’t want to get injured when your just starting and your workout should always be harder than your warm-up and don’t forget to rest your body needs time to work up to full-blown workouts. 

  1. 15-second plank- You can do these as many times as you want. I like to do reps of 10;; I go 15 seconds of the plank to squats with weights and repeat but remember,, don’t overdo it
  2. 30 jumping Jacks.-Very simple but definitely good work out. I normally forget to actually do jumping jacks as part of my workout, but I do use it in my warm-up. 

  3. 30 Squats- sounds easy but remember to use the right posture, and if it still easy, adds some weights in 
  4. Weights- effortless start off with light weights at first, maybe dumbells or weight machine. If you're at a gym, start light and work way up over time, probably not the best time to try a deadlift just yet.
  5. Walk- this is really good. If you have no money but want to start working out, just go for a walk super fun too; maybe go for a bushwalk/hike or if you have a dog, take him or her to the park.
  6. Run/jog- again, just like the walk easy to do and run just makes you sweat more. 
  7. Biking-  no, I don’t mean motorbiking. Even if it is run, ditch that hard bulking helmet, put a different one on a hop on a bike you have to Pettle with and off you go.
  8. Swimming- you will need a pool or a lake for this, but it’s incredibly cheap and easy. Just use different kinds of strokes, and maybe for that warm-up and cool down, you can have a splash around with your workout partner or kids. 
  9. Wall sit- this is extremely painful but a very powerful workout. I actually learned this one in gym class at school back against a wall with shoulders touching as well in a squat position and see how long you can hold. Maybe do this a couple of times, just do a different workout in-between times.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters.   Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.   My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move    that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

How to tell if you are a rebound or if the guy really likes you

Oh, the agony, you are talking to a guy, and he is giving mixed signals about if he really likes you or if he is pretending to use you as a rebound; well, I have compiled a list for both to help you work out what you really are. We have all been there at least once in our lives; you start talking to a guy, and you can not make sense about how he is really felling; there are a few telltale signs about what you are. Now rebounds are not just sleeping around; they can be emotional too. A rebound is only a relationship or relations that happen while they are still getting over there partner. 90% of rebound relationships will fall apart within three months, but how long it takes to heal from a relationship depends on how long the relationship was, the person and if the relationship was over way before it actually ended. some signs you are just a rebound are: they are totally in love with you even though you haven't known each other long your relationship moves really fast...

The benefit of learning a new language and tips on how to do it

  Learning a new language can be such a rewarding learning experience. I have been using Duolingo since April 2022 to learn Spainish after years of struggling but wanting to learn the language. I now have had a streak since the 10th April 2022 without missing a day and have learned a lot so I though I would compile a list of the benefits of learning a new language and some tips on how to do it for those of you who also want to learn another language.  Benefits of learning a new language 1.
