How Do I Deal with Cramps?
Something I get asked often about is dealing with cramps. Specifically here I am talking about cramps that develop while exercising. These are known as Exercise Associated Muscle Cramps (EAMC). They are quite a common condition and can be defined as “painful, spasmodic and involuntary contractions of muscles that occur during or immediately after exercise”. Common areas for cramps are generally the foot and legs.
It is not well understood as to why they develop and what to do to minimise the risk of getting a cramp?

Recently I appeared on Mornings with Kerri-Anne to dispel the myth that situps, will make you lose weight. To be honest I am surprised that people still believe that 500 sit ups per day could help you lose weight. In this Video I chat to Kerri-Anne about some of the ways you can lose the fat whilst toning the ‘muffin top’ area. These are fun, variations to the normal exercises we’ve grown to love (and hate!).

It takes nine months to put the weight on, so expect around nine months to take it off again! After that, it’s more about your lifestyle than your bubba! Watch my segment below for more tips.
