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!”

While touring the world with The Wiggles (yep, she once performed on stage as Dorothy the Dinosaur), Hannaford learnt the importance of the ‘do anywhere, anytime’ workout for boosting her health and wellbeing. “I always remind myself of how much more energised and vibrant I feel all day after I sweat myself through an awesome workout.” Her top tips Write it down - “This is a great way to believe you can do it.

How to avoid dry skin

  Are you prone to dry skin ? If you think your diet has nothing to do with it, your face may beg to differ. The Suspects: Alcohol , Coffee , Poor Diet In the short term, alcohol can cause dehydration , which can cause dry skin. “For women, the recommendation is no more than two standard drinks a day on average,” says dermatologist Ann-Maree Kurzydlo, who recommends limiting consumption and alternating alcoholic drinks with water. “One or two alcohol-free days should be had per week.” Caffeine is a diuretic and can also lead to dehydration of the skin - so steer clear of energy drinks as well as tea and coffee. Meanwhile, dietitian Dr Joanna McMillan says diet can also play havoc with skin. “A lack of fats in the diet can lead to dry skin, whereas good fats such as oily fish, avocado and olive oil deliver fat-soluble nutrients, are anti-inflammatory and promote skin health,” she says. “Certain nutrients are important for the skin including vitamins A, C, E and many antioxidants. ...
