The Biggest Outdoor Family Workout


This morning my beautiful family and I attended The Biggest Loser Family Workout.

As soon as we arrived, my girls spotted Michelle, Shannon and The Commando! We registered and made our way to the The Promise tent and pledged our family promise...


Just before the workout began, we were lucky enough to see Michelle. Isabella and Daniella were very excited to finally meet their favourite trainer! I thanked Michelle for providing her 12WBTers with a Pregnancy Program, which is helping me stay fit and healthy during my pregnancy.


I was also able to take a few pics of these handsome guys... ;)


We met Bec, a 2012 TBL contestant. She is absolutely lovely! She had a great chat with Isabella and I.


Then it was on to the workout...we were trained by each of the trainers for 10 minutes. Shannon started off with a boxing warm-up, Michelle followed with some crazy 30 second bursts of interval training and the workout ended with The Commando...and his beloved burpees!


We all had a great time! Daniella and Isabella were little machines and enjoyed every minute of the workout. My sister and husband smashed it out and I stuck to a very low impact version. It was nice to be outside together on a beautiful Sunday morning training together!

My beautiful hubby, sister and daughters hard at work!
After the workout, we had a photo with all the trainers! Shannon was so pleased that we were there as a family and said that our girls would be so thankful to us for being an active, healthy family. The Commando loved our promise and asked us to hold it up during the photo. This is definitely going to be enlarged, framed and hung up in our home gym!


Check out this Channel Ten News report featured in tonight's News At Five bulletin! My gorgeous hubby made it to the small screen! He's shown holding up our family pledge!

The Biggest Loser - The Next Generation 2013


So, it's no secret that I am a fan of The Biggest Loser.

I know that the contestants lose a massive amount of weight in a short amount of time, I know that they train hours a day and I know that they stick to a strict calorie controlled diet...

but I love watching them transform.

I love seeing them train hard, complete challenges and change physically, as well as mentally.

Last night, my mum and I were lucky enough to attend an event at the Whitlam Centre, Liverpool. We had seats to watch a taping for the new season. We were both extremely excited to meet the trainers, as well as the contestants.

When we arrived, we met Sharlene and Craig (The Westrens) from TBL Family Series 2011. They are truly beautiful people. They chatted with mum and I and were so lovely. They look amazing and have definitely maintained after finishing the show. I asked Sharlene how it's been maintaining...and she admitted it was hard. It's a daily decision to train and eat well...and she must be doing something right, as she looks amazing!

Once the doors opened and we were seated, we met the trainers. I met Michelle a month ago, but was just as excited to see her this time round! Shannon and The Commando...well what can I say...HOT! The three trainers looked amazing and were very friendly to the audience. They asked us who had trained and eaten clean!! They look so lean and are a picture of health.

We were told that TBL 2013 was all about The Next Generation and each contestant was going to come out and make a pledge to themselves, as well as their team mate.

The contestants were very brave...they stood up on stage and shared their journey and pledged their promise. Tears were shed as I listened to each contestant. I could relate to so many of them. I want them all to succeed. I wish all the contestants the very best of luck on their journey.

I can't wait for the new series to begin...and keep an eye out when it aires, as you might just see me on TV! :)
