Summary of #30 Fuel Your Life with Ann-Marie Antic: 10 Game-Changing Habits for Health, Energy & Happiness
In the latest episode of the D8 Training Podcast, host Ann-Marie Antic shares the 10 habits that keep her feeling strong, energised, and grounded—while juggling the demands of work, family, and life.
With so many diets, hacks, and fads out there, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. But Ann-Marie cuts through the noise with real, practical strategies that work—not just for her, but for the hundreds of people she supports through D8 Training.
💪 Her approach centres on three key principles:
- Establish healthy habits that stick
- Remove temptations from your environment
- Build belief in yourself, one decision at a time
Inspired by
Atomic Habits by James Clear, Ann-Marie reminds us that lasting change doesn’t come from willpower—it comes from setting up your environment for success.
🔑 A Few Highlights From the Episode:
🥚 Protein-Packed Mornings
A protein-rich breakfast is a non-negotiable in the Antic household. It fuels her body and helps her kids stay sharp, focused, and energised for school and sport.
🚶♀️ Movement, Not Perfection
From walking meetings to aiming for 10,000 steps a day, she shows how simple daily movement adds up. No fancy tracker required—just consistency.
🏋️♀️ Strength Training = Confidence + Longevity
Lifting weights isn’t just for fitness—it’s a mindset builder. Even on low-energy days, getting it done pays off physically and mentally.
🧠 Resilience Through Routine
Ann-Marie shares how consistent training builds more than muscle—it builds grit. That same grit carries over into life’s tough moments.
💆♀️ Recovery + Self-Care Matter Too
Whether it’s regular massages or daily gratitude, taking time to recharge is key to staying mentally and emotionally strong.
If you’ve been wanting to take control of your health, feel more energised, or just start showing up for yourself again—this episode is your sign to begin.
Start small. Pick one or two habits. Let them compound. Because it’s the simple stuff—done consistently—that makes the biggest difference.

Selection time is stressful. Your athlete wants: More game time A shot at higher squads To prove themselves to coaches You want to give them every chance without burning them out. Here’s how we help Adelaide athletes use one 10 week pre season to actually move the needle on selection with targeted sports performance training in Adelaide.
Every year in Adelaide, thousands of kids and teens start pre season feeling like they’re back at square one. Fitness gone Strength gone Confidence down Then they crash through another season, pick up a few niggles, and repeat. We built the JuniorGym → Athlete pathway at D8 so your child doesn’t have to keep starting every season from zero.
On the surface, a lot of gyms look similar: Music Groups of people sweating Someone telling you what to do So why do we keep telling people “D8 is not a bootcamp”? Because the difference between random workouts and real strength coaching at a strength training gym Adelaide locals can trust is massive.
One of our favourite things at D8 is hearing someone in their 60s or 70s say: “I’m stronger now than I was in my 50s.” If that sounds impossible, here’s what we’ve learned from coaching over 60s through our ForeverStrength over 60s strength training in Adelaide.
You might have heard: “Weights will stunt their growth.” “They’ll get injured in the gym.” Meanwhile, you see your child: Getting pushed off the ball Struggling with coordination Lacking confidence at sport So what’s actually safe?
Most adults we coach at D8 are not sitting around wondering what to do with all their free time. They’re: Working full time Juggling kids’ sport and homework Trying to have some kind of life on weekends So “train 6 days a week and meal prep for 3 hours” is never going to happen. Here’s how we help Adelaide parents actually fit adult strength training in Adelaide into 2–3 hours a week.
