    New Year , New Me?

    As the festive season gets under way, you may start thinking about New Years resolutions that you plan to work on after that glorious Christmas Day (and boxing day through to NYE!) food baby. It may seem like a good idea to wait for the business and buzz of it all to pass before starting to work on yourself, but often the promise to ourselves to start on New Years Day, or the first Monday of 2019 is pushed back, delayed and soon becomes more difficult to begin.

    Do Squats Make Your Butt Bigger? | Octavia Activewear

    Do squats make your bum bigger? Well... yes and no. The squat booty is somewhat of a myth when it comes to growing the size of your derriere! We thought we would help break down this myth and get the real deal on how to grow that booty. SQUATS ARE QUAD DOMINANT For a lot of us we are quad dominant in leg exercises, squats are predominantly executed by the quads with the support of the hamstrings and glutes, so the idea that the glutes are being exercised during a squat is cor

    10 Tips For Losing Weight | Octavia Activewear

    1. DRINK MORE WATER It's one of the easiest things we can do when trying to lose weight and overall body fat reduction, simply drinking more water. Drinking a glass of water before every meal is also a great habit to get into because this can help reduce over-eating at meal times, making you feel fuller quicker. It is also quite common to mistake thirst with hunger, next time you feel yourself searching the house for a snack, stop. First drink a large glass of water, find a s

    Cheap Gym Leggings | Octavia Activewear

    Cheap gym leggings............. why they're NOT worth your money. When you're scouting for new activewear you probably want it to look good, as well as feel good and if you can save yourself some cash money, well of course you're going to, right? The downside to cheap gym leggings, or in fact cheap activewear, is that sometimes you end up spending more money in the long run. CHEAP PRICE, CHEAP QUALITY I love a bargain as much as the next, so over the years I have of course go

    High Waisted Gym Leggings | Octavia Activewear

    If you're new to buying activewear you may be wondering what style to buy, which materials are workout friendly and where to look, it can be a real minefield of beautiful designs with less than desirable functionality. WHY HIGH WAISTED GYM LEGGINGS? If there is one design feature that would be non negotiable in our activewear wardrobe, it would absolutely be high waisted gym leggings.

    Sweat Proof Leggings | Octavia Activewear

    There's nothing like that post-workout buzz, you've beasted through your training, really pushed yourself and you're feeling ready to take on the day until.... you catch a glimpse of all your sweaty hard work, like a beacon of damp light, begging for every other humans attention... right in the crotch and butt of your leggings. Sweating during a workout is a given, for some it's no drama, we couldn't care less about how sweaty we are or if it shows. But for others this can li

    How To Get a Smaller Waist

    PUT DOWN THAT WAIST TRAINER! Genetically you have a natural waist size and if it is already at it's smallest, you cannot make it smaller. The only thing a waist trainer is going to do, is train you how to WASTE your money! Learning to accept your body for the shape that it is and love it for it's uniqueness will not only be a better use of your time, but also good for your peace of mind. BE PATIENT If you are new to exercising and currently losing weight, your body compositio

    Squat Proof Gym Leggings | Octavia Activewear

    'Squat Proof Leggings' You may have heard the term before, it has become popularly used in recent years when describing the quality of gym leggings. Online influencers will often tell you about the fit, feel, sizing and opacity of the leggings. 'Squat proof' refers to how sheer the leggings become when stretched to the maximum in a deep squat position. The 'squat test' is usually paired with this term in review videos to prove if the leggings are worth the bang for buck! Afte

    What is Body Fat? | Octavia Activewear

    The world of health and fitness can be a confusing place, but like any new challenge, knowledge is power and the more you can learn and understand; the better equip you are to succeed in reaching your goal. Body fat is essentially your body's secondary energy store, the first energy store is the food we eat, a majority of this energy is taken from the carbohydrates we eat which are converted into glucose, our simplest and most immediate energy source.

    Why Your FAD 'Diet' Won't Work | Octavia Activewear

    It's 12pm your ravenous and all you've got to eat...or should I say drink it some seductively branded 'weight-loss, fat burning, metabolism boosting' shake. How many times have you found yourself in this situation? Dreaming of all the junk food under the sun, but in the name of being slimmer, you MUST persevere... Let's be honest we've probably all fallen for it at one point or another and how long did it last before you caved in and reached for the nearest sugary, salty, cal

    How to: Overcome Gym Anxiety | Octavia Activewear

    In my short time as a personal trainer I have encountered so many people that have struggled with gym anxiety... It's completely understandable if you have never have stepped foot in a gym before, it's a new environment and the fear of the unknown kicks in. You may find yourself building up the gym as a place only filled with super-fit people, with 'beach bodies' and rippling abs. That these hybrid humans will look you up and down, wonder what on earth you're doing there and

    Why EVERYONE should be booty building | Octavia Activewear

    Long gone are the days when we longed for a flatter bum and to be a skinny as possible, women everywhere are embracing their shape and those who weren't born with rolling curves are working their butts off (no booty pun intended!) to create more shape. The ever growing trend on Instagram of showing what your mama gave you, or what you've been squatting and hip-thrusting away to grow is abundant... and I'm not afraid to say I too am one of those girls #sorrynotsorry BUT amongs
