My journey from a lazy depressed,unmotivated, barely breathing semi-human into the world of the fit, strong, confident and happy. Spreading the love!

Less than two weeks to go until the Australian Fitness & Health Expo! (FILEX) It’s all go from the 19th-21st April 2013!

I’m so excited to be attending this year representing Flush Fitness and APS (Advanced Performance Supplements) and can’t wait to meet all of the incredible and inspiring people that share my passion for health and fitness.

I hope to see you there! Come and say hello!

First fitness style shoot last week. Have a few booked over the next few weeks so I think it will be fun to watch me lean up bit by bit!

Work in progress! Happy to be back on track!

QuestionHi Katina! Hope you're well :) I've read through your posts about workout routines and nutrition advice, but wanted to ask a quick question if that's OK. Your post Christmas workout mentions to do little / no cardio - is this because you're already at your target weight? I've lost a bit of weight but struggling to shift the remains of belly fat and want a stomach like yours! Do I need to continue doing cardio or do you suggest doing weights only? Many thanks!! Cerys Answer

Hi Cerys! The main reason I do no cardio here is because I’m focusing on building muscle. If we do too much cardio, we begin tob lose our muscle mass and our metabolism as a result drops. If you are really wanting to do cardio with this program (and you dont already have a decent muscle mass), I suggest 45 mins of walking instead of something more intense. This way, you can still get some extra fat burning in without your body starting to use your muscles as a fuel source. :)
Remember, more muscle = more fat burning potential.
I hope that helps!

Somehow dodged causing too much Xmas damage! Time to rebuild and become better than before!

No squats and squats! Ladies it does most definitely work. Don’t be afraid to load up the weight on those barbells!

Proud to announce that I’ve been officially welcomed to VFS supplements as a Victorious Vixen - an elite female team of fitness models/competitors!
I am so happy that my journey into the fitness industry is starting off with such a bang! I’m looking forward to competing at the IFBB in October - especially with VFS as my sponsor! Keeping my eyes on the prize!

Find them on Facebook! The Vixens will be launching soon too where we will share blogs, photos an training/nutrition advice!
This is gonna be huge! :) xx
