Personal Train Me and Kombucha




Hi everyone.

I hope you all had a magical weekend and are rested and ready for another week.

Over the weekend I took a trip to meet up with a friend that I haven't seen in a long time to discuss some "natural remedies" that she loves.


Let me introduce Personal Train me

In this day and age a lot of us are "to busy" to get to the gym and don't want to/ can't afford to pay a bucket load to have a one on one training session with a personal trainer.

Personal Train Me allows personal training to be done online so that you can do it at a time and place that suits you and at a fraction of the cost of a one on one training session.

Personal Train Me offers peronsalised exercise programs, nutrition support, your own online training platform, 24/7 email support from Anna directly, flexibility to fit your schedule, personalised to your needs, membership bonuses, support group access and the comfort that you will be treated as an individual.

You will get the results you desire, you will get the support you need!!

Personal Train Me want to encourage a healthy lifestyle and help teach people how to make informed and healthy decisions so that they can live their lives to the fullest and get the most out of what they put in.

Anna Mabey (owner of Personal Train Me) is a fantastic, real and down to earth personal trainer who is offering this amazing online service as well as some one on one training from her small home gym and Nga Purapura Gym in Otaki.

Anna has years of experience in personal training and worked as the fitness manager at City Fitness Paraparaumu where she managed the personal training services.

Anna's Natural Recipes

After the birth of her son Anna struggled to regain the strength that she had prior to getting pregnant. She tried different cleanses and tried going back to the basics of meat veges and good fats, and while her husband thrived, she felt AWFUL!!!

It wasn't long after this that she discovered that she wasn't digesting proteins any more and has basically just starved herself for two weeks.

Anna was given some pills and some enzymes which she had to take to enable her body to digest the proteins that it needed to function properly, adding up to nearly $100 per month.

Anna decided that she didn't want to have to pay this for the rest of her life and looked for an alternate solution - she found Kombucha and she swears that it is doing exactly the same thing that the pills and enzymes were doing.


Kombuca

Kombucha is fermented tea (sounds lovely I know haha) that has a huge range of health benefits.

These include:

Increased energy

Increased healing

Lowers blood pressure

helps relieve chicken pox

Reduces acne

Thickens hair and helps people who are balding

Strengthens finger nails

Psoriasis and skin conditions

Helps with allergies

Aging

Asthma

Migraine relief

digestive issues

To name merely a quarter of the benefits. For a full list of benefits click here

Kombucha is easy to make and pleasant to drink (tastes a bit like apple juice).


How Do You Make It?


  1. In a large metal pot heat 4 liters of filtered water and 1 cup sugar
  2. once all sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and add 4 black tea bags
  3. allow to cool to room temperature
  4. pour into a glass jar that holds slightly more than your 4 liters
  5. pour in a half a cup of a pre made Kombucha
  6. carfully add the "scoby" (the bug that ferments it)
  7. cover with a paper towel secured by a rubber band and put in a warm (not to sunny) spot for 8 - 12 days
  8. Once tea is fermented pour into seal-able bottles (you can add vanilla, herbal teas etc at this point to flavour) and put in the cupboard. Slight fermentation at this point will make the Kombucha fizzy.

The pre made Kombucha and scoby can be stolen from someone else who makes Kombucha as every batch creates a new scoby.


My first pot of Kombuca Tea - counting down the days until it is ready
