Michelle Bridges Recently, photos started coming up on my Facebook memories, that made me stop and think about my past eight years in fitness. In January 2010, I bought the first book written by fitness trainer Michelle Bridges. At the back of that book was a short note saying to watch out for exciting news […]
Barriers to exercising
My purpose in starting Next Phase in Fitness seven years ago was to record my fitness training and events. I’ve now decided to change the focus of the blog slightly.

Maxine’s Challenge Week 8
Time for a Maxine’s Challenge update. I can’t believe we’re at Day 3 of Week 8 already. As usual I’m loving the exercise programs, and have been following them almost to the letter.

I think it’s irresponsible to head out into the bush in temperatures over 41 degrees. But the extreme heatwave has now […]

It’s our blogiversary
The message below, from WordPress, alerted me to this huge milestone, that I’d almost missed. Next Phase in Fitness and Life has turned 7 years old! Just writing that seems really strange to me. When I started this little blog, about my adventures in fitness, I had no idea that it would still be going […]
