Your life depends on it!
It's that time of the week again for another Friday Fuel. I'm really enjoying salmon as a protein source lately, including it for both lunches and dinners. Salmon is a great source of dietary Omega 3 which increases fat breakdown in the body and has beneficial effects on cholesterols, blood vessels, inflamation, brain function and your metabolism. Here's a way to add some great flavour to … [Read more...]
It's the Monday Motivator again and I've got a quote regarding fear. Specifically a common fear of making mistakes. As a Kiama Personal Trainer it's one of the things I need to constantly address with people before we can start to make progress on their health & fitness. I'm not saying I don't get scared, because there's certain things we're all afraid of. But I'm not … [Read more...]
It's coming up to that patriotic day on the Australian calendar ANZAC Day 25th April. To me I always remember images of Gallipoli, two-up, the ANZAC Rugby League Test Matches between Australia and New Zealand and of course, ANZAC Biscuits. Now normally, I wouldn't be recommending that you eat cookies but today's Friday Fuel Recipe is a tweak on a recipe from one of my favourite cookbooks Anabolic … [Read more...]

Just back from the funeral of Norbert Ehlbeck at Kembla Grange today.

A fairly new addition to the Oxygen Health & Fitness family, Norbert turned up to his first Oxygen session only 6 weeks ago with no idea what he was up for. Being the … [Read more...]

Over the weekend I had a great time celebrating my 30th birthday. Over the three days (my birthday was actually last Friday) I was shouted breakfast, a lunch and a dinner which for a guy who loves food, is just about as good a present as you would give me. While we're on the topic of food, I also managed to do our weekly grocery shop, cook and freeze 3 dinners, make a batch of protein bars and … [Read more...]
For today's Friday Fuel I'm talking about Lemons and dressing. The reason I'm talking about Lemon, and dressing, is because today is my 30th Birthday and I'll be dressing up tonight (not really) having a few lemons, with Corona, and celebrating at the Blue Diamond Bar. So that's how I came up with the theme of lemon but I've also got some great info for you about the health benefits of lemon and … [Read more...]

Each page suggests a way to be mindful of the here and now, helping you to recall the value of taking action in the present - and following through. Today's Thursday Thought is a reminder for you that the Dave's … [Read more...]
Today's topic for the Wednesday Wellbeing might actually be the last thing on your mind after an Easter Long Weekend full of Easter Eggs. But that's also the reason I have included it - to give some background information for the chocoholics among us. Now in no way am I encouraging you to go out and gorge on chocolate. But if it is something you find yourself caving into regularly then the … [Read more...]
