Tanya’s weekly insight: What are your goals for 2012
There is something about a new year that fills you with inspiration and the opportunity to change, tweak, delete or bring more into your life. It’s a great idea to reflect honestly on last year, what did you do well, what patterns and habits held you back, and what goals you achieved. Based on this information set yourself some new goals and an action plan on how you are going to achieve them. Example: 5kgs weight loss by 1 July 2012. How: by seeing my Strive personal trainer 2 days per week and eating more fresh whole foods. Reward: holiday at a spa retreat. When you write your goals down and place them where you can see them every day, such as your bathroom mirror, you are 80% more likely to achieve them as it imprints the message into your subconscious. I would love to hear what your goals are for 2012. Share them in the comments of this blog.

Practical exercise of the week: Plank pull backs,
Start in a high push up position, place your hands under your shoulders strong long body and tummy pulled into spine, you may be on your knees or toes. Then shift your weight leading with your bottom so your weight is over your feet, and then expand long aging into high push up. Do 3 sets of 12. This is great for toning the tummy and thighs.
