The sisters behind Base Body Babes

 

We chat to the sisters behind the @basebodybabes to find out what their life in fitness involves.

 

For anyone who grew up with a mad love for their soul sister, or who wouldn’t be seen dead in the gym without their fit buddy, this dynamic duo is for you. Personal trainers and experts in post-pregnancy fat loss, the basebodybabes love spoiling us with athletic snaps almost too cute to handle. The happy pair offer a range of online personal training systems for women, run their own successful business in Base Gym and top it off with health food café Base Fuel, brimming with raw, sugar-free deserts.

Our career

“Once we started training and helping others, everything shifted for us and we knew this was what we wanted to do. As sisters, the fact that we could do it together was even better. We felt like we had a lot to offer our clients and women in general – it’s a really great feeling helping them achieve their goals and change their lives.  It was a no brainer for us, we just had to make a career out of it.”

Our fitness regime
“Weights, weights and more weights! We lift between three-to-six times per week and we love it! Our system is based on a combination of strength and circuit-style training.”

My nutrition
“We love to eat fresh, natural wholefoods. We have a portion of protein with every meal, with lots of vegies and some fruit. We drink loads of water throughout the day and we try not to buy too many processed or packaged foods.”

Behind the scenes
“We tend to store fat in the lower part of our bodies, which is common for women. When we were younger, we weren’t so great at appreciating our natural body shape. As we grew up, and became more educated and experienced in life, we began to realise that we are all different as humans and we should embrace our natural curves. We have booties, so rather than trying to change that, we work it!”

Robyn Lawley: I don't do fad diets or fake food

Robyn Lawley is the face of Pantene , a swimware designer and cookbook author. Here, she tells us how she stays in shape. "I am an Australian size 16, which is really rare in the fashion world," Robyn says. "People don’t understand that models are so, so, so much smaller than I am. I’m trying to spread body love and body positivity because the message can get lost when people are focusing on things like weight loss stories; that’s not what I’m about." Instead of focusing on extreme diet plans , Robyn concentrates on getting fit and healthy. "I think exercise is a really great combat to depression, sadness and generally not feeling good about yourself," she says. "Fitness is where you get your endorphins and how you’re going to make yourself feel empowered. I like kickboxing, swimming and SoulCycle, which is a crazy American trend of cycling in the dark to crazy music. I’m terrible at it. I enjoy yoga as well. "I get into the trends like everyone...

How to stop yourself from overeating

  Wondering why you constantly overeat? Here are three factors that may be contributing to over-indulging.    It’s easy to over-dramatise the odd extra helping as a ‘binge’ or ‘blowout’, but if you are consistently eating more than your body needs, there may be good reasons.  The stick: Macro shortfall The human body’s drive for protein is so powerful that it will keep consuming food until its protein needs are met according to a University of Sydney study. As protein intake decreases, kilojoule intake increases, researchers reported. The fix: Consume 15 to 20 per cent of daily kilojoules from high-quality, low-fat protein sources. Lean meats, legumes, fish, eggs and tofu all qualify. The stick: Multitasking Whether it’s the portion sizes at your local, a bout of intense work stress or mindless nibbling in front of the telly, there’s a whole gamut of reasons why we eat more than what we need or when we’re not hungry at all .  The fix: Try to eat intuitively...
