Exercise of the Week: Lunges
I seem to be enjoying exercises that work the leg muscles at the minute. This week’s exercise is great for working the lower half of your body: your calves, hamstrings, quads and bum. Lunges are the perfect exercise for travelling because they don’t require any equipment at all. Photo from Photobucket Equipment None! Steps 1....

As I’ve mentioned previously I don’t always eat healthily when travelling. Depending on where I’m staying and my budget, it’s not always practical. Sometimes, I just don’t want to miss out on the new food available to me, even if it is on the unhealthy side. If you are staying somewhere with no cooking facilities...
My Shameless Treats: Week Two
This week I’ve eaten a few naughty treats. Here they are. The slightly healthier version of cookies. Okay, so they still have a lot of sugar in them, but slightly less calories and fat. The apple and cinnamon flavour was very tasty. I shared these chunky biscuits with my husband. I seem to have had a bit of a cookie craving this...
Exercise of the Week: Wall Squats
Image from Flickr Having eventually found somewhere to run (although not without it’s challenges) this week, I’ve decided I need to strengthen my quads. Wall squats are great for this, as well as strengthening the hip and abs muscles. These will help prevent running injuries, too. Wall squats are quick and easy to do, making them...

Four Problems with Running in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
With the London Marathon being held last Sunday, I was reminded that I have to run a half marathon in just under five months. It’s not that I’d forgotten exactly, I’d just kind of pushed it to the back of my mind. It’s now two months since I came to Indonesia. Although I have found [...]
My Shameless Treats: Week One
My food philosophy is to enjoy food and eat whatever I want, in moderation. I don’t see the benefits in denying myself of the food I want to eat. Most of the time I’m healthy. I exercise quite a lot and I enjoy it. Therefore, I think I deserve to give myself a few treats, [...]
Exercise of the Week: Wide Leg Sit-ups
Photo from flickr With the second phase of P90X well under way, this week has featured quite a few abs exercises. I actually really enjoy sit-ups and exercises for the core muscles. This week’s exercise is a wide leg sit-up. These are great for your upper abdominal muscles and obliques. There are also variations to [...]
