YOVEMBER

Practicing Yoga Everyday In November

During the month of November, I have decided to really focus on me. One thing that really helps ‘clear the fog’ for me, is yoga. I started Yoga at University but have continued to use it since graduating. It really helped me when travelling in Aus, as I struggled sleeping and just doing 10 minutes before bed helped me switch off and get ready for sleep. 

It doesn’t matter the length of the practice nor does it have to be yoga, it can be anything that works for you, just as long as you are making that commitment to dedicate an amount of time for yourself each day. 

I’m really looking forward to having a goal and sticking to it and I will take you along for the ride…

#GetMovingWithMallo

Being unemployed in Brisbane meant that I had a lot of time outside of applying for jobs for working on my fitness. After pretty much a month off and bad eating I could feel my body changing. 

Instagram is probably my most used social media app on my phone so I thought why try to start to take some pictures of workouts to help motivate myself and maybe a few others along the way. 

Turns out it was something that I really enjoyed and MalloFit was born. I post as often as I can whether it be pictures/videos of what I’ve just done or my view whilst doing it.

From Sad To Fab

Fitness and Mental Health

Mental health is something that is being discussed more openly than ever. Although I have never been diagnosed with a mental illness myself, I have witnessed friends and family who have battled their health and come out the other side.

I’m not here to lecture about the physical benefits of exercise (they go without saying) but I do want to stress the positive impact exercise can have on your mental health and how it can enrich other areas of your life. 

Endorphins
During exercise your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These trigger a positive feeling in the body giving you an energising outlook on life.

Sleep
Getting into the habit of exercising for even as little as 10 minutes a day, can greatly improve the quality of your sleep. Exercise reduces stress levels and tires you out, so when it is time to turn out the lights your body is ready for rest, allowing you to wake rejuvenated and ready to take on the world! Sleep.org have some great articles on how to time your exercise to help optimise your sleep if you want more information.

Boost your body image
The physical effects of exercise are undeniable and as fitness levels improve and you become more aware of your physical capabilities, the changes in body composition can alter the way you look at yourself for the better. By renewing your mindset you become focused on what your body can do and start to appreciate its strength.  

If you are just starting your fitness journey or have just hit a bit of a bump in the road try to remind yourself where you started and how far you have come. Talk to your friends and family about what’s going on, find your support group and watch as you push through the pain and surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

My Journey 

Sport and fitness is something that I has always been a big part of my life. From playing multiple sports in school to playing Volleyball at both national and international level.

I have recently discovered running as a means of pushing my self further, compared to my usual work outs in the gym such as, weight training and HIIT.

Although primarily I wanted this blog to be about my travels, I’m going to use this category as an outlet for me to see how far I can go with my fitness and maybe give a few tips as I go.
