Welcome to the Move Blog

Ah, the age old question that many of us wonder before climbing into our workout gear: how long should my workouts be? 

The subject of carbohydrates can be complex (pun intended), as they’ve sure gained a bad rap over the years. Many fad diets have written off the food group, viewing all carbs as weight-gainers, leading to many believing that a carb-free diet is a top way to lose weight and be healthy.

What would you think if we told you that the average gym-goer only lasts 8-weeks of regular attendance? After two months they fizzle out, lose motivation and end up missing out on fitness whilst continuing to pay their gym membership.

We can all use an extra dose of advice on how to tweak our lifestyles to lean more to the healthy side! Wouldn’t it be bliss if we could turn our healthy choices into habits that we barely need to think twice about, and importantly, never consider a chore?

Pounds, kilos, Body Mass Index, body fat percentage – it’s easy to get wrapped up in a tunnel of numbers to measure your health, but what would you say if we told you it’s time to put those scales away?

Being active and squeezing all you can from life should be at the top of everyone’s list! We all know that being active makes us happier, healthier, and ready to take on the world… But how do we develop a workout habit and turn it into an awesome lifestyle, not a chore?

As raw food diets continue trending with gusto, more of us are reaching for the raw crunch over regular cooked vegetables. The thinking behind raw food diets is that the less processed or cooked the vegetables are, the more nutrients will remain locked in giving us all the goodness we need… but while raw vegetables may be giving our jaws a workout, is it any better for us?

Exercise: It can make you feel on top of the world, it can make you feel strong, it can make you feel the fittest you've ever been...but guess what? Working out can also make you feel like you want the ground to swallow you up.
