5 reasons you need to try battle ropes

You’ve seen your favourite celebrities doing it, and now it’s your turn! Discover how you can strengthen, tone and lose weight in one simple workout.

Battle ropes have long been used in the training of sports like football and boxing, but fitness experts everywhere have been bringing them into gyms after noticing the incredible effects on the bodies of every being who lays a hand on them.

“Battle ropes are excellent tools to improve cardiovascular fitness, aid weight loss and enhance muscle endurance,” says Adrian Holdsworth, personal trainer and national product manager at Fitness First.

Basically, the ropes which appear similar to those that tether boats to the shore, provide the body with an all over workout, that seemingly has your favourite celebrities OBSESSED.

And if you need a little more convincing, we took the liberty of compiling the top 5 reasons why you should get involved.

TOP TIP: Save yourself a penny and purchase your very own battle ropes from bunnings!

1. You can do it anywhere

It’s called a workOUT, not a workIN. Exercising in a crowded, sweaty gym can sometimes dull the buzzing effects those endorphins have on your mind and body, but with battle ropes there’s no need to be grounded, you’re free to go anywhere!

Take your ropes to the beach or the park for a fun in the sun workout, guaranteed to get you feeling good.

2. Burn the fat right off

Experts believe that just 30 minutes of high intensity battle roping can burn anywhere between 300-500 calories!

Most exercise routines require segregated focus on individual muscle groups, but battle ropes force every single area of the body to engage meaning that over the course of your short workout, the fat on those target areas such as the tummy, thighs and arms will simply melt away.

Let Ellie Goulding inspire you to take on the ropes! Post continues…

3. Build and strengthen muscle

As that layer of fat sheds like your cat’s winter coat, a stronger, more toned version of you will begin to shine through.

The all-consuming nature of the workout builds endurance, strength and definition in areas that are often hard to target through other forms of fitness, and if you don’t believe us, just wait until you feel that satisfying next-day soreness in muscles you never even knew existed!

4. It’s quick and easy

Just to be clear – when we say easy, we don’t mean easy like Sunday morning.

Battle ropes provide a full body workout that will have every single muscle group burning in a much shorter amount of time than other fitness forms.

Just 20 minutes a day of switching up exercises is enough to get your blood pumping and your heart racing.

5. Your favourite celebrities are crazy about it

Kim Kardashian, Ellie Goulding, Sporty Spice and David Beckham are all obsessed with the newest workout trend, and you can be sure each of them have their own reasons why.

As a new mother-of-two, Kim hopes to slim herself back down to her pre-baby body, and as an ex-football star, David Beckham keeps up his battle rope training to maintain his magnificent muscle from the glory days.

Whether you want to lose weight, tone up, or build endurance, there’s a battle rope workout designed to benefit you and your goals.

If it’s good enough for Khloe!

‘Ab Fab’ movie stars name their favourite Aussie cameo

And there sure were a few to pick from!

Profile picture of Now to Love

It’s been 24 years since Eddie and Patsy popped open the Bolly in the first series of Absolutely Fabulous. And now, the flamboyant duo, played by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are returning to our screens in a movie.

Of course it wouldn’t be a proper Ab Fab movie without a celebrity face or two. Despite the star-studded lineup of Aussie cameos, including Barry Humphries, Rebel Wilson and Kathy Lette, it appears Kylie Minogue was a favourite amongst the leading ladies.

“We have a lot of Aussies in it,” Saunders told The Daily Telegraph. “Kylie was like the cherry on the cake. We were just completely thankful for anyone who turned up to be honest, it was such a thrill.”

The film, which is due for release in July, sees the ladies fleeing to the south of France to escape the fallout from a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party.

Arriving penniless and disgraced on the French Riviera, the forever optimistic pair hatch a plan to make their escape permanent.

It reunites Saunders with the rest of the original cast, including Julia Sawalha as Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother.

Watch the trailer below.

Meet the Sydney sisters turning dreams into homes

Spoiler: walls aren’t the only thing that they’re breaking down.
Brand logo of Now to Love
Profile picture of Now to Love
HiPages sisters

Margaret Thatcher once said, “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.” A little harsh? Undoubtedly. Though we can’t help but think that the infamous Iron Lady – with the equally infamous fierce tongue – was onto something.

Two Sydney sisters certainly proving her point are Rebecca Campbell and Jane Stone. The former Police Officer and national sales executive decided to turn their love of art and reality reno shows into a successful home makeover business, squashing many stereotypes in the process.

Here, Rebecca shares her advice for renovating on a budget and why you should never underestimate a woman – especially one with a wrench in her hand.

Tell us how you got started.

I was working as a personal trainer at the time – having served 20 years in the NSW Police Force – and my sister, Jane, was working 16-hour days in an office. She’d always decorated and renovated her own homes – she was self-taught and did it to save money really – and I’d been interested in art and design since school so 12 months ago, we just decided, why not? We were big fans of all the reality reno shows and thought if they could do it, so could we. So Vivid House Doctors was born.

What do you do?

We focus on home improvement and do everything short of big, structural projects. We paint, we tile, we do bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations – basically everything interior and exterior that’s non-structural.

What’s the response been like?

This past year we’ve had an extraordinary response and transformed so many people’s homes. Helping people turn a house from an “ugly duckling” into a gorgeous home – that they can happily live in or sell for a huge profit – is invaluable to us.

Are people sometimes surprised when two female tradies knock on their door?

Yes, definitely. People can be apprehensive to start with and question whether two women are capable of such labour-intensive work. We just remind ourselves that it’s old school stereotyping that we’re helping breakdown. It’s so satisfying when you’re able to prove the critics wrong and show them that women can build and demolish and do everything that stereotyping says we can’t!

How has your background helped?

As a Police Officer you develop an ability to connect and access a situation really fast. It’s the same with this. You connect with people and quickly understand what needs to be done. That rapport that you build with people is transferable. From a client’s point of view, the trust and honesty that people place on my background is invaluable. For both of us, our skill set includes hard work, perseverance and good communication – and that seems to be really beneficial to our home makeover business.

What are your top tips for renovating on a budget?

Start small, be smart and keep things simple with cosmetic style changes first, then move onto the more dramatic changes if you need. Once you have a plan of what you want to achieve, do your research and talk to experts. They’ll help you access your options, figure out a schedule and most importantly – stick to your budget. The biggest mistake we see is a failure to plan, which leads to people going overboard and ending up with shock costs.

What’s the easiest way to add value to your home?

Kitchen and bathroom renovations never stop adding value. If you haven’t got $20K to do a major makeover, make cosmetic changes instead. Change the taps, update lighting, add a piece of artwork, paint the walls or tiles. A splash of colour – on the walls or from changing cushion covers – is another easy way to add value on a budget. It’s a simple change, but you’ll be taken back by the effect.

Stillborn babies will be included in the census for the first time

This year, stillborn babies will be included in the census for the first time. Instead of just recording ‘live births’ women will be able to record all the children they have given birth to.

Catherine Gregory is a mother of four. But you won’t often hear her say that. While she loves all of her children, the taboo of stillbirth means that she rarely mentions her daughters, Molly and Poppy, who were born sleeping.

But new legislation could help to break the taboo.

This year, stillborn babies will be included in the census for the first time. Instead of just recording ‘live births’ women will be able to record all the children they have given birth to.

Kristina Keneally is the patron of the Stillbirth Foundation. She told 702 ABC Sydney that she has always felt angry that she couldn’t acknowledge her daughter Caroline, who was stillborn in 2000, in the census figures.

“Every year when I fill out that census I’ve been a bit rankled and a bit angry because the instruction says how many births have you had … it’s always stipulated live births,”

Keneally says that the change shows that our communities are becoming more aware of stillbirth.

There’s a growing awareness in the community that children who are born still, who are not born alive, are nonetheless children.”

“They are part of the family, they are given names, they are buried, they are honoured,” she said.

The Australian Bureau of statistics made the change in response to complaints from parents across the country.

Ashley McBride, a mother from the ACT told the Canberra Times that is important to recognise the number of stillbirths across the country each year.

“The Census flyer says everyone counts and that the information helps to shape our community and future needs such as hospitals,” she said.

“That being the case, the ABS needs to be confronted with the number of stillbirths in Australia every year.

“I occupied a bed at the Canberra Hospital for three days when I gave birth. This recognition would allow for greater funding for hospitals, including research and support services for bereaved families.”

Catherine Gregory hopes that the move will provide more data on the issue of stillbirth. “I hope the information leads to better resources and that this will help to reduce the rate of stillbirth in Australia.”

But on a much more personal level, Gregory is happy that for once, her girls will matter.

“It’s heartbreaking when you don’t count all your children,” she says.

Sonia Kruger in hot water again

Sonia Kruger has set tongues wagging again after stating scholarships for LGBTQI students were 'reverse discrimination'

Loading the player...

Just a week after finding herself the subject of national headlines after saying Australia should close its borders to Muslim people, Sonia Kruger has found herself in hot water again.

The host of TODAY Extra this morning said scholarships targeted towards students from the LGBTQI community were an example of ‘reverse discrimination’.

“I don’t think it should have anything to do with the awarding of a scholarship,” Kruger said. “I thinks scholarships should be given on merit.”

The scholarship in question is provided by the Australian Business and Community Network Scholarship Foundation (ABCN) and awards a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex identifying Year 10 student with financial assistance of up to $7000 during their studies, The Australian newspaper reported today.

The national policy officer of Family Voice Australia has argued the scholarship is yet “another example of ideological activism making its way into schools”.

“Why should children, especially in a school setting, be asked to declare their sexuality or gender identity? Many 15-year-olds are still working through issues around sexuality,” Mr Wyld told The Australian.

“Offering a financial ­incentive to identify as ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and/or intersex’ is completely inappropriate.”

Many on social media have already called Kruger out for her conservative stance.

https://twitter.com/nakkiahlui/status/759973449963937792

Kruger’s co-host David Campbell disagreed with Kruger’s perspective, saying scholarships were designed to address inequality and target minority groups.

The scholarships were “hardly a big deal,” Campbell said, particularly as so many alternative funds reward merit.

“There are tonnes of other scholarships that are set aside for kids who are supremely talented.”

Sally Obermeder reveals her incredible surrogate

After surviving 16 rounds of chemotherapy, Sally Obermeder got the chance to live and be a mother and now a woman across the pond is helping her add to her family again.

Sally Obermeder

Last week, the channel Seven presenter announced she’s expecting her second child with her husband Marcus via surrogacy.

“Yes, it’s true,” Sally announced, next to an adorable family photo on Instagram.

“Thrilled to bits to share that @marcusobermeder and I are adding to our family thanks to the most incredible surrogate.”

In the picture, her daughter Annabelle holds up a sign that says “I’m going to be a big sister!”

Although the trio couldn’t be happier with their dreams of expanding their family becoming a reality, getting there has been far from idyllic.

In 2011, while Sally was pregnant with her first child, the TV journalist discovered a lump the size of a tennis ball in her breast and was subsequently diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.

Sally posted this heartwarming picture to confirm their happy news.

“She was like, ‘I’m really sorry but you have breast cancer, and it looks like it’s stage three. It’s really aggressive,'” Sally recalled during her Sunday Night interview.

Having to give up the chance to give birth naturally, her pregnancy was induced and straight after Annabelle’s arrival, Sally underwent drastic surgery and began chemotherapy to save her life.

“We had a few minutes to enjoy it, not that long before they separated mum and bub and took Sal immediately from there to start treatment… like immediately,” Marcus remembered.

“The prognosis wasn’t great. It was pretty bad actually.”

Watch Sally’s brave interview in the player below! Post continues after…

The beloved personality endured eight months of chemotherapy and was eventually given the all clear exactly one year from her first life-changing diagnosis.

Despite the illness resulting in Sally being told another natural pregnancy could cost her life, Sally has always wanted a large family.

“I acknowledge that I’m extremely lucky to have one child… But the yearning and desire to be a mum again is so strong and it has not passed,” The Daily Edition host previously said.

“Before I was sick I always pictured I would have two or three children, if I was lucky enough, and I still want that for Annabelle.”

Annabelle can’t wait to begin big sister duties

Celebrating 15 years of marriage, Sally shared this sweet message, “The love continues grow as do the surprises ❤️❤️ @marcusobermeder stealing the show with a surprise speech / singalong / medley of hits that told the story of our 15 years together!”

Thanks to her previous IVF treatment, Sally had four embryos remaining. All she needed was someone to carry them.

Like most Australian states, Sally and Markus’ home in NSW has strict laws on surrogacy, making it illegal to offer financial compensation to someone willing to carry your child.

But if you cross our shores, all the way to the United States of America, it is a very different story.

The family decided to try their chances there, and thanks to Dr Kim Bergman, Sally and Marcus were a step closer to expanding their family.

Before her cancer struck, Sally had hoped to have three children.

“There are a lot of people in Australia who want to have babies through surrogacy. Altruistic surrogacy is a lovely idea but there are not women in Australia coming out of the woodwork wanting to do it,” the LA-based medical professional explained on Sunday Night.

She also added that in the states surrogates are usually paid around $25,000 but her organisation works with women who are willing to help other families for free.

That’s how Sally met her godsend in Rachel.

The Wisconsin native, who is a mum to three girls, had been a surrogate once and wanted to do it again. Making the Aussie family’s dream come true, Sally is only paying for her medical expenses.

Watch Sally meet her American surrogate Rachel in the player below! Post continues after…

“How do you even repay someone, like a bottle of perfume just doesn’t cut it. The gift, I mean, it is priceless,” Sally reflected.

“How amazing that there are people like Rachel in this world, like a woman from the other side of the world who I don’t even know who would do this for me?”

The two mothers met for the first time in December 2014, when both Rachel and Sally flew to LA to have the embryo transferred.

Two weeks later Rachel found out she was pregnant, but sadly the baby didn’t survive the 12 week scan.

Sally was moved to tears by Rachel’s selflessness.

“I felt so helpless,” Rachel told Sunday Night, “I wish she was with me and we could give each other a hug we could console each other, we had to do it from afar.”

Despite the heartache, Rachel wanted to persevere for Sally.

“It started to get to me I started to question whether I was the right person for Sally,” she admitted, following two unsuccessful attempts.

But their final time worked.

Sally discusses the negative impact Australian surrogacy laws had on her family… Continue scrolling for the remainder of the post!

Sally flew over to the States to be with Rachel during her first ultrasound.

“I knew it was there but to see it for myself you know we were both in the room together there’s just, there’s no words,” she said.

“I kind of feel like it’s a miracle, it’s just a hard experience because it’s like I still feel like I’m not carrying this child but I also feel like it’s the most amazing most special experience.”

Keeping the gender a surprise, Sally, Marcus and of course Rachel, will welcome their miraculous bundle of joy in December.

The very worst bridezillas the internet has to offer

Everyone knows a story of one bride that's gone bananas and it doesn't take much searching to find plenty more. Here's a few of our favourites....
Brand logo of Now to Love
Profile picture of Jess Commons Celebrity

In a Reddit post which has now been deleted, user Bridehairthrowaway says she was told by her friend she was set to be a bridesmaid for that she would need to dye her naturally ginger hair for the wedding.

‘You’ll need to dye your hair for the day,’ The bride said. ‘I’ll take you to my hairdresser and cover the cost :)’

When the bridesmaid questioned the outlandish command, the bride said that her hair was quite ‘attention-grabbing’ and wouldn’t fit with the cohesiveness of the group.

Wow.

What is it about weddings that have the ability to turn perfectly sane, rational human beings into bonkers bridezillas? Everyone knows a story of one bride that’s gone bananas and it doesn’t take much searching to find plenty more. Here’s a few of our favourites….

1. This lady who put her bridal party on strict regime

Mate. This was a corker. One that kept us very entertained. Gawker obtained emails circulated from the birde to her bridal party and (you can read the full thing here and we would highly recommend it) in which she detailed that her bridesmaids were to be subjected to ‘weigh-ins’, ‘protein weight gainer diets’ for those currently skinnier than the bride, ‘strict bedtimes’ to avoid ‘saggy baggy eyes’, and any hair colouring/cutting plans to being submitted to the bride for pre-approval.

But, shock horror. One of the bridemaids did dare to get her hair cut without checking with the bride. She was called a ‘bad little bee’ and eventually banished from the bridal party.

Then the bride floated the idea for daily google docs for the bridal party to share their daily calorie intake (no joke) and wanted to check all bridesmaids were on a rice cake and water diet in the days leading up to the wedding.

The story was verified in the comments by one user who knew the bride. She said three of the bridesmaids no longer speak to the bride.

We’re suprised it’s not more.

2. This bride who might want to check herself

“My best friend’s coworker is getting married later this year, and oh, man, this girl’s got some problems. She’s very religious and ‘pure,’ which, if that’s your thing, is fine. Whatever. However, she told my friend last week that she doesn’t want anyone at her wedding who was born out of wedlock. Which includes my friend, who is the daughter of a teen mum.”

3. This bride, who should have thought about how she was going to wee beforehand

“She slapped me in the mouth in the restroom during the reception. She had this massive, billowing explosion of organza as a skirt. It was beautiful but utterly impractically designed: it took at least three of us to hold up her skirt so she could pee. She had been drinking on an empty stomach and on the second trip to the rest room with all of us holding this dress up while she hovered drunkenly over a toilet she couldn’t see, she ordered me to wipe her.

Ordered. Me. To clean her twat of urine.

I declined.

She slapped me.

The skirt was dropped by all parties while I shouted obscenities at her. She screamed that if I didn’t do this for her, this friendship was over! Over!

She tried to apologize years later, but seemed surprised when I was not interested in rekindling our friendship.”

4. This bride who probably shouldn’t have got married in the first place

“Worked at a reception venue. One event really sticks out. Everything went well until the cake. Bride and groom go to feed each other, she does it very nice, he smashes it into her face.

Bride screams, starts bawling her eyes out and runs out of the hall.

15 or so minutes later the father of the bride comes and asks the DJ for the mic. He proceeds to thank everyone for coming and says that if they would like to take their gifts on the way out the couple has decided to break up.

I’m sure there were issues leading up to the event, but the bride had told everyone (including the groom) that if he smashed the cake in her face, it was over. She wasn’t lying.”

5. This bride, who’s got bigger issues than just her wedding

“I worked in alterations at a chain bridal store for a couple years. The amount of shit I saw go down was ridiculous, but one of my favorite stories was the bride who refused to let me fit her in her gown because I have short hair and ‘didn’t want to be touched by a disgusting lesbian’.

First I laughed her off because I thought she was just making a poor joke in poor taste, but then when I tried to help her into the gown, she started freaking out and made a huge fuss. The mom got involved and threatened to have me fired for trying to rape her daughter. When I assured her that I am, in fact, straight, she insisted I have my manager come out and vouch for my sexuality.

Finally, I put her in the dress and she bursts into tears and stars screaming at me about how I made her dress too tight and how she looked fat and terrible in it….and I just looked at her and said “ma’am, I haven’t altered your dress yet, this is a first fitting to see what sort of alterations need to be done.”

Justice.”

David Bowie’s son welcomes baby boy

Duncan Jones announced his exciting news via Twitter, with a comedic cartoon of his father, himself and his new son.

The pop legend’s only son, Duncan Jones, has welcomed his first child with wife Rodene Ronquillo.

On July 10, six-months on from his father’s untimely death, Duncan Jones and his wife, Rodene Ronquillo, welcomed a sweet baby boy into the world.

The BAFTA Award-winner announced his exciting news via Twitter, with a comedic cartoon of his father, himself and his new son.

“Stanton David Jones. Born July 10th, exactly six months after his granddad made room for him,” the proud dad shared alongside the drawing of the three generations, adding, “Love you both so.”

Also sharing a touching message to his brave wife, the legend’s son wrote: “All my love and awe to the incredible @rodeneronquillo who made a human being in her belly.”

“Warrior woman & every day, my hero.”

The couple announced their pregnancy back in February of this year, just one month after David passed away of cancer.

In another cartoon Tweet to his 300,000 followers, the expectant father wrote, “1 month since dad died today. Made this card for him at Christmas. Due in June. Circle of life. Love you, granddad.”

Speaking to E! News, the film director admitted that in his final months, David took the liberty of revealing his grandchild’s gender to the expectant parents before saying a proper goodbye.

“When we found out what the gender of our baby was going to be, we were able to get the doctor to write it on a card without us seeing it and then I got to spend Christmas with my dad and he actually told us what the gender was going to be,” Duncan said in May.

“We found the time to do all of the family stuff that we wanted to do, got a chance to spend some time together, have our talks and say our goodbyes and things like that.”
