What Makes Me Passionate About The Fitness Industry: Knowing that people can overcome depression, addiction, sickness and everything that goes with that through fitness and looking after their bodies. I love seeing someone working hard and achieving results, its amazingly rewarding in that respect.

Being a busy mum of 4 kids, I understand how hectic life can get some times. After getting everyone ready for school, doing the school run, cleaning up, washing, folding, working, cooking, somehow squeezing 25 hours out of a 24 hour day, I understand the last thing you think you have time for is exercise right?

Well think again. Everyone has the time to exercise it just needs to become a priority. Think of it like brushing your teeth, you wouldn’t go to bed without doing it because it keeps your teeth healthy, well guess what? Exercise is vital to keep our bodies healthy.

Getting up at 5am in the morning to train is not everybody’s cup of tea. It’s early, it’s cold, my bed is really comfy and quite frankly the desire to just curl up into a snug ball and fall back to sleep is incredible. So why then do I get up?

Because I have promised myself to make no excuses, I have made my ‘why’ stronger than my ‘why not’ and I just don’t have time to beat around the bush about it all. Just do it.

Sometimes the only time I have to train is in the middle of the day, outside, when my son is asleep. It’s stinking hot, I don’t have a home gym and I have limited room but I do it, because that is my time for me so I can be the best mum that I can be.

If, like me, you only have a small amount of time to train daily, try these tips:

• Do some high intensity training – eg 5 minutes of burpees.
• Go for a walk at night after dinner. Take the whole family.
• Find your fun, something you love doing and just do it.
• Get up 30 minutes earlier – even if it is cold or set aside 30 minutes each night for exercise.
• Exercise while your watching TV at night.
• Have heaps of sex – yep that’s right, it’s classed as exercise
• Make exercise a priority.

Remember that each and every one of you deserve to be happy and healthy. It is your right to take time out of your busy days and do something for yourself. Make exercise a priority. You are all awesome and deserve awesomeness in your life.

What Makes Me Passionate About The Health and Fitness Industry?
At JMT we believe how people train, lose weight, or establish health is not dependant on method. The method you use is somewhat unimportant. There are so many pathways to reach the above goals, they method you choose needs to suit you! The most important thing is mindset, state and desire. We provide training reinforced with a nurturing environment to make your dreams reality.
My passion is helping people produce measurable results. Instilling the notion that the goal is happiness, not perfection. Being perfect should be measured by your overall happiness, which in turn produces life long change.
