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:

💧 Hydration First Thing 

Ann-Marie starts her day with warm lemon water and salt to cleanse, rehydrate, and boost her metabolism. It’s a small habit that sets the tone for better choices throughout the day.

🥚 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.

If you’re 35–55 in Adelaide, chances are you’ve tried “getting fit” before. Maybe it was a bootcamp, a running phase, or a random circuit class where you just tried to survive the timer. You got sore, maybe hurt, and then life got busy again.  At this stage of life, you don’t need more random workouts. You need strength training classes in Adelaide that help you get properly strong in a way your joints can actually tolerate.
