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. There is something about writing it down that makes it become real. When it becomes a real commitment there is no room for self-doubt or sabotage.” Focus on process, not outcome - “I encourage [my clients] to have their specific goals but to ultimately make...

I used to eat a McDonald’s cheeseburger a day to ...

  Our April cover model Nadine Dumas talks healthy treats, fit food and shares her sweet potato brownie recipe.   ON FIT FOOD I’m a fan of sweet potatoes and a protein that’s a bit lighter. I train right before lunch, so it’s usually eggs. For post-workout I will normally get a banana in right away with glutamine and then head to the local market for greens and another protein such as a chicken breast. ON HEALTHY TREATS I have a great recipe for sweet potato brownies. I find so many recipes use dates, of which I am not the biggest fan, so I switched them for these. What you'll need: •    2 cups baked sweet potato (skin removed) •    3 eggs •    ¼ cup coconut oil (melted) •    ¼ cup agave •    ¼ tsp vanilla •    3 tbsp coconut flour •    4 tbsp cocoa powder •    2 tsp cinnamon •    ½ tsp fresh ground ginger •    ¼ tsp pumpkin pie...
