Hypoxi - You want results, with minimal effort

Hypoxi - You want results, with minimal effort

bh’s Sam recently did Hypoxi and had great success, losing 4cm off her hips and 3cm from her stomach. It is ideal for women who aren’t too fond of exercise and would like to focus on fat burning from their waist down. Hypoxi uses gentle compression and vacuum technology to stimulate the metabolic process by encouraging blood circulation to the stubborn fat stores, enabling your body to burn those fat stores as energy. It basically involves you sitting in one of the Hypoxi machine-type chambers, while you partake in low impact exercise for 30 minutes, (Sam was able to read a book while she did it). To find out more, head to hypoxi.com.au.

Vedic Meditation - You’re after an exercise that will improve your mind AND your body

You’ve always liked the idea of meditation, but have never seemed to get the hang of it. The great thing about Vedic Meditation is that you’re taught by a qualified instructor so you know you’ll get the most out of each session, and with regular bookings, you’re more likely to stick to the practice. Jacqui Lewis, co-founder of The Broad Place explains, “The main benefits of a regular Vedic Meditation practice includes less stress, increased clarity, creativity and happiness. With each 20 minute 'session' equivalent to two hours rest time, people ​​can also experience far ​less fatigue during waking hours, and better rest at night.”

Personal training - You’re seriously lacking motivation

Personal training - You’re seriously lacking motivation


If you’ve been setting your alarm early every day - but still not getting up - it may be time to bite the bullet and get a personal trainer. Yes, it will cost you, but not only will the fact you’re spending money motivate you to show up, but having someone coach you through every move and push you to your limits will be worth the spend. To make the cost cheaper, you can always share a PT with a friend or try getting an entire group together so you can all split it. It’s worth looking into if nothing else can motivate you.

Sneaky exercise - You see exercise as a chore and would rather not do it

Sneaky exercise - You see exercise as a chore and would rather not do it

Your idea of good exercise - is no exercise. You’d much prefer to spend your time having fun and laughing with friends. So for you, we recommend trying a dance class like No Lights, No Lycra or Zumba. You’ll have fun while working up a sweat (but you won’t even realise because you’ll be enjoying it so much!). And you don’t need to invest in any fancy workout equipment, you can wear what you like! For those who are a little more adventurous, (or have a fear of dancing), head to Sky Zone for an afternoon of bouncing around on trampolines. Your abs are sure to burn afterwards from all the laughter and balance you endure.
