Perth health and fitness expo

If you've followed me and my blog for a while you'll know all about my love for health & fitness, from super spiritual yoga with a rosie outlook to squat club & crossfit with Ella from Strong little bunny. I was so excited when I heard about Perth health and fitness expo, filled with powelifting, bodybuilding, crossfit and product demos. But I was double excited when I heard they were having a bloggers morning, little did I know....

We arrived before the expo opened and were introduced to Max ' The body' Philisaire, fitness model and personal trainer to the stars. I was blown away at how humble and encouraging he was, but also by the size of his biceps, holy hell.

Sadly I had to sit most of the workout out due to my slowly healing piriformis, but it was the perfect chance to snap the other girls in action.

Laps of running mixed with push ups, burpees, mountain climbers, star jumps, pull ups, box jumps, more burpees and kettle bell swings.

Everybody loves box jumps right?!

One the workout was done we head over to another area for a quick smoothie demo from Kim Beach, who confirmed that frozen bananas = super thick smoothies.

and then a photo op with Commando Steve...

and then all the pre workout samples kicked in...

  We were let loose (filled with pre workout) to explore the rest of the expo..

Some amazing Perth lady lifters.

and err...more pre workout?!

We all had a great day and I'm actually a bit gutted that I left before the bikini girls competed! Bring on next year when I'll be able to join in all the fitness fun.

Aus fitness and health expo run events across Australia throughout the year, it's a great way to find new products (did I mention pre work out?), stock up on Quest bars, meet your favourite fitness celebrities and find some inspiration from the local competitors.

Pure Glow Cleanse

'You want to feel radiant. Lit from within and bursting with energy. Our cold-pressed juice is crafted to nourish you from the inside out. We make it simple to glow and thrive each day. Because the truth is, you deserve to shine.' - Pure glow cleanse 

I picked up my little cleanse box from the juice studio in Perth, welcomed lovingly by Annette one of the co-founders who gave me a little 101 on pure glow cleanse. We discussed the benefits of juice cleansing and I joked that if anything I looked forward to not having to think about food for one whole day. When I got home I swiftly opened my box to see what was inside...

It was then straight in to the fridge for my little juices ready for the next morning...

8am, Sunrise Elixir. 

Lemon, Cucumber, Aloe Vera, Filtered Water

This zesty number most definitely woke me up, ditching my normal morning coffee in favour of a big glass of water and replacing breakfast with juice left me feeling energised and ready for the day. It tasted fantastic and went down a treat.

11am, Glowing Greens.

Kale, Cos, Cucumber, Celery, Green Apple, Pear, Avocado, Parsley, Lemon

I managed to drag myself out of the water just long enough to slurp down my glowing greens. This one felt more like a smoothie than a juice and that was perfect as I was just starting to feel my energy levels drop (probably all of that blogger style sea- frolicking). 

1pm, Green Guru.

Kale, Cos, Celery, Cucumber, Green Apple, Mint, Lemon

A few hours later I dragged myself back out of the ocean for the signature juice, Green Guru, which had been sitting in the cooler bag since we left home. Luckily, it was still icy cold and was perfectly refreshing and gave me the energy boost I needed to get home and get on with some DIY projects.

4:30pm, Good Karma.

Carrot, Lemon, Green Apple, Ginger, Tumeric, Grapefruit

Taking a little DIY break I chilled out in the hammock sipping on the Good Karma juice, which was my favourite by far. This juice claims to boost mood and metabolism, which in my opinions is a miracle...but you know what it worked. I felt full of energy ready to carry on with the day.

6:30 pm, Buddha Juice. 

Cucumber, Green Apple, Mint, Lime

I hadn't struggled with not eating, or feeling hungry until this point but when I started cooking dinner for Dan suddenly everything smelt like heaven. I sipped on a cup of green tea whilst I prepared dinner and then sat down at the table with my Buddha Juice and you know what? by the time I sat down I realised I wasn't hungry at all. This juice beyond all the others made me realise just how much I eat due to pure habit instead of hunger and that actually I probably don't need that pile of food at dinner time as much as I think I do. 

8pm, Chai Vanilla Dream.

Almond, Brazil Nut, Cashew, Medjool Date, Chai Spice, Vanilla, Filtered Water

I took my Chai Vanilla Dream with me and sipped on it whilst soaking in a warm bubble bath, surrounding by flickering tea lights. It felt like I was transported to some kind of tropical paradise. The juice itself tasted absolutely blissful and sent my tastebuds in to a calm, pre bed time lul, and the fact it was full of protein left me feeling full with absolutely no urges to reach for the biscuit tin.

I never would have thought that a one day cleanse could work so many wonders for my body, but now a few days on I have realised just how much it has changed my relationship with food. I am now able to read my bodes cues so much better than before, my sweet cravings for biscuits and chocolates are gone, I feel full of energy and my skin looks more radiant than ever. Pure Glow Cleanse, I love you.

You can get a one day cleanse for $75 or a three day for $195.

I guarantee you that it's worth every single cent. 

Have you done a juice cleanse before? 

What results did you have?
