In this episode of We Need To Talk, Toni Street catches up with Augustine fashion house owner Kelly Coe.

Coe is a big supporter of netball in New Zealand – she fits out both the Silver Ferns and the Northern Stars teams.

She grew up in a sporty family, who were big on waterskiing together, and grew to love netball as well, continuing to play as an adult even after her first two children were born.

"Then probably five years ago, all my sport just stopped and I couldn't fit it in anymore. Now I just run and I do HIT (high intensity training) workouts which is great for fitness but I definitely miss playing a sport."

In this episode, Coe shares her tips on how to be better at exercise.

"I can't stand the gym, never have liked the gym, have never really been a member of a gym, don't like doing weights or anything, so I find the easiest way to exercise is when I literally can just put shoes on and go out the door and go for a run.

"I put my headphones in with my music and it's the only time when no one talks to me, so that's part of the reason why I run so much is for the exercise but also for the peaceful quiet time."

Street said Coe reminded her that you don't need to thrash yourself doing exercise you don't enjoy as it's hard to be consistent if you aren't enjoying it.

Also, it's important to not overthink it, and half an hour spare is enough time to fit a workout in.

"Chuck your gear on, and just get out the door. That way there's no time for your mind to talk you out of it."
