My Top 5 Outdoor Exercises

Summer is around the corner, so why not take your workout outside!?

My local park has a fitness area with equipment, therefore I have adapted equipment into a few of my exercises, but don't worry they can all be done without equipment.

Protein Cookies

Got a craving for a cookies but its not part of your diet? Well here is my recipe for protein cookies that will curb that craving!

Ingredients: 
- 125grams Lightly Salted Butter
- 4 Tablespoons Almond Milk
- 1 TeaspoonVanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup of Flour (I used rice flour, but any type of flour will do)
- 2 Scoops of Protein Powder
- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons of Baking Powder
- Chocolate (I used 1/4 bar of cooking chocolate, chocolate chips are also fine)

Walk A Different Path

People find it hard to believe that I enjoy outdoor activities, I take a lot of pride in my appearance when I go for dinner or meet friends in town for drinks... However, there are two sides of me.

Growing up I spent a lot of my spare time in the scouts. Now my scout group wasn't the typical scout group, we still did all the usual things like learning how to tie knots and orienteering but we also went rifle shooting, quad biking, skiing in Switzerland, human bowling, ab-sailing down cliffs and one time we made our own beer. We would spend a lot of weekends /school holidays going camping and I completed my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver, so hiking and being outdoors is second nature to me.

Banana & Peanut Butter FroYo

If you're anything like me, you'll love ice cream, but eating Ben & Jerry's every week isn't going to be good for your waistline. So here is a healthy, easy and delicious alternative....

All you need is Bananas, the rest of the ingredients can be changed depending on your preference.

New Year = New Me?

With the beginning of the new year comes New Years resolutions. Whether or not you're planning on keeping it is a different story, but we all make them.

Christmas in the Hawker Household

I love hearing about how people celebrate christmas, everyone has different traditions, passed down from grandparents and great grandparents. 

Sweat... It's Your Fat Crying

Now most of my friends think I'm crazy for getting up at the crack of dawn to go to the gym, and maybe I am... but it has to be done right?

Wrong! It doesn't have to be done, I do it because I love it. 

I wasn't always into fitness. When I was in school I ditched every PE lesson I ever had and the only time I would go running was to get more food.
