The ultimate guilt free chocolate shake!

When it comes to chocolate, I've got quite good at fighting off cravings and have got to the stage where I really enjoy a few squares of dark chocolate over a whole bar of Dairy Milk, however when I'm offered something both chocolatey and good for me I can't say no, which is what happened to me a few weeks ago when i was contacted by supplement brand Activate Nutrition!

Fit Fashion - Adidas Studio Power Laces

Pictured above my Adidas Studio Power Laces print tights, with Saucony Guide 7's, Yur Bud Earphones & Style PB water bottle.

I love my fit-fashion and when my mum surprised me with an early birthday present from Adidas i couldn't wait to show them off at the gym! The Adidas Studio Power Laces print tights, not only look amazing, but they perform too!

Race Report: The London Triathlon

Back in August you may remember me telling you all about the London Triathlon that I was due to participate in. Wetsuit, bike and trainers at the ready I headed off to London to take part in the event for the second time (I previously took part in 2013), only this year my cardio-loving mum was joining me! Aged 50, she is super fit and healthy, running at least 3 times a week and swimming at weekends, I knew it was going to be stiff competition, although I hoped her reluctance to do weights would give me bit of an edge, we're both mega competitive so this turned into a real Mother vs Daughter event!

The Fashercise Launch: Boom Cycle @ Boxpark

The easiest way to find out what I'm up to is through twitter.. I'm an addict! The fitness community on there is amazing, inspirational and motivational to say the least. So when a fellow duo of fit bloggers turned their amazing blog into a fully functional e-commerce site (more here) who was I to turn down an offer to join them in celebration!

To celebrate the launch of Fashercise - an amazing online fit-fashion shopping destination - the girls held a one week pop up at Boxpark with a free class everyday for the week the pop up was open, which included Boxing, Yoga, Ravercise and Hula Hooping, it was hard to choose which event to attend.. but then I saw one of the classes was the much raved about Boom Cycle and was instantly sold!

Unless you live on a remote island somewhere.. you will of heard of Matcha Green Tea. Its a super powder that in one serving provides the equivalent of 15 cups of green tea, can boost metabolism and even claims to raise energy levels. Sound a bit too good to be true...? Yeh thats what I thought, so when i was given the opportunity to test drive my very own Matcha Powder by tasty tea masters teapigs I jumped at the chance!

Loving Lexi Sport

(Me in my Lexi Sport Anita Leggings!)

The fit-fashion market is really booming at the moment, something I am so glad of! Gone are the days of boring black gym leggings and over sized sweat inducing heavy cotton t-shirts and in are super cool prints, technical fabrics and smooth silhouettes!

TomTom #GetsMyHeartRacing

A few weeks ago I was invited by the lovely people at RunningBug to test out the swish new running watch from TomTom, the TomTom Runner Cardio. The new watch uses fancy technology to monitor your heart rate whilst you work out so you can push yourself to your limit without having to wear one of those annoying chest straps.

Working in co-ordination with your heart rate in any exercise has been proven by many science buffs to help aid fat burn and improve cardiovascular fitness which helps fight off nasty heart diseases that can creep up on you in later life. Depending on your goals, the watch & post-activity reports can tell you what zones your working in too make sure you’re on track to reach your goal be that fat burning, endurance or all out sprinting.

#FitnessForFree

When I was recently approached by Legal and General about a fitness for free challenge, I thought damn this is going to be a tricky one, and actually re-wrote this post about 3 times because I just didn't feel like it was real and honest enough about the little things i do to keep fit that cost me nothing!

Yet when scrolling through my instagram I came to realise I actually do quite a lot to keep fit for free so here goes:
