These days we are all becoming a lot more aware of the way that hormone levels might affect the way that we feel. The hormone associated with stress is called cortisol.
We have cortisol for a good reason. It signals to our body that we need to eat more following a stressful situation. When we turn on a “fight or flight” response we use up more energy. Our body is telling...Learn More
When we were in our 20s and 30s and we needed to lose weight we knew just what to do:
A quick fad diet would usually do the trick – apples for 2 days, cheese for 2 days etc etc
Join the gym and go every day for two weeks with a lot of cardio – the eliptical trainer thing where you swing your arms while you march along was not too bad. We would do that for a few hours...Learn More
I am so excited about Dellafit’s Yin Yoga weekly classes starting next Thursday 4 February at 6.30am at Rushcutters Bay Park. One of the reasons I am excited is that the sessions will be taken by Crawf Weir who is an experienced and awesome yoga teacher, who specializes in Yin Yoga.

First of all Lea can you tell us a little bit about yourself
I have just moved back to...Learn More
Most of us can relate to a “diet” or a “health kick” more than “lasting habits”. We decide to get rid of those extra kilos by restricting our eating for a certain period of time. Or we decide to embark on a hard core exercise regime to “get fit quick”. Basically it is like a “blitz”. We plan to spend a few weeks suffering to reap...Learn More
As part of our 2021 schedule we will be offering yin yoga on a Thursday morning. I am so excited to be able to offer this wonderful weekly experience to our members.
What exactly is yin yoga?
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced, therapeutic style of yoga. You will not be doing a plank or a warrior pose or saluting the sun. Most of the time you will be sitting or lying down. Taking up a...Learn More
Have you ever eaten too much and then imposed exercise as punishment? So you ate a whole family size pizza. Feeling disgusted with yourself, you vow to do a punishing workout to make up for it. Or it might that you promise to get up early and go for a long run after too many late night chocolates. I know women who are trapped in a cycle of having to go on long runs every day because...Learn More
We all want to kick up our heels (if we can remember where we put them) this year in particular. The silly season is upon us and I feel like a party (with 20 people) more than ever!
What I do not feel like though is gaining any more weight. Getting through covid, banana bread, sourdough, baking and all that staying home and coming out the other end – there has been quite...Learn More
