I’m usually very much a choose-my-mood chick. I think basically any situation can and generally should be reframed to either appreciate and benefit from the potential learning or simply just to allow you (and the people around you!) to have a more enjoyable experience-Day-LIFE! I decided to make a conscious effort to Choose My Mood when I became a personal trainer. I know sweating it out at the gym can be somewhat uncomfortable, potentially intimidating and ... READ MORE

To multitask or not to multitask that is today’s question. This is one of the many things I’ve changed my mind on in recent years. In today’s show I’m covering: The Multitasking Myth. Let’s take multitasking and examine the Good, the Great and the DELUSIONAL. My current belief is that as a rule, multitasking is not of value. In fact it’ll make you less efficient and less effective… so ... READ MORE

Back in my multi-tasking days I used to be a sucker for time management tactics. I believed if I could only manage my time better then I could “get it all done.” I also did overwhelm fairly well. It’s really quite easy to excel at overwhelm – you simply think of everything you need to get done with a special focus on ... READ MORE

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to find it so effortless to stick to the great habits they choose for themselves while others may have an equally compelling appreciation of the value in such habits however it’s a constant, frustrating, battle with themselves to try and enforce the habit? As I sat at my local with some mates on Sunday – and effortlessly declined – ... READ MORE

This week I tackled a fear that’s been leeching my energy for years now. It sounds stupid admitting that. Although I’m guessing you can relate. You know that thing you know you should deal with. It’s constantly at the back of your mind however never quite urgent enough to deal with right now, Today. Talking of stupid before I share my fear I’ll reveal what prompted ... READ MORE

Everything you or I do is a strategy. In early 20’s I ran a hugely effective strategy for meeting hot yet super-arrogant kinda-cold and sorta-self-obsessed guys. Now why would I want to meet such guys you may be thinking? And you’re right. I didn’t want to keep meeting them HOWEVER that was not the message I was putting out there. I was running a ...

As a child I spent many a fabulous holiday at my grandparents farm. I loved it. From playing with Boof the ever-loyal-super-dog… He was the only non working dog and I was amazed at his ability to catch leaves in his mouth… to feeding the chooks… actually I found the chooks quite scary… to going out in the ute to ...

In today’s tucker show I’m going to answer a question I got emailed last week. Today’s lets chat FRUIT. Specifically: How many fruit servings do you recommend in a day? There’s no one answer fits all… however if I had to commit I’d say 1-2 pieces a day of fresh fruit works for most people with a non-super-extreme goal. If your goal is more about fitness (rather than ... READ MORE

This past long weekend I did a little detox. I was away for the weekend and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Not the cut the protein – sacrifice sexy lean muscle type that I’ve previously shunned… rather, a cut the dependance on the internet – disconnect to reconnect: DIGITAL DETOX. I’ve felt the need building for a while now.  Generally I’m very structured with my time. I’m also NOT ... READ MORE

I used to envy those ‘genetically gifted’ guys and guys. You know, the chicks whose thighs are naturally lean and cellulite free AND meant to rock short shorts? Or the guys that eat burgers and chips AND beer… and as long as they still ‘get to the gym’ they get to stay super buff and ripped. It’s like the smart kids at school ... READ MORE
