🧔MEN’S HEALTH MONTH – Love Your Belly?

Mike from Anytime Fitness Hobsonville

MEN’S HEALTH MONTH – Love Your Belly?

“When you look down, can you see your toes? Or is your stomach getting in the way? We might love our bellies, but it’s a sad truth that our fat bellies aren’t loving us back. Stomach fat is actually really dangerous to our health. It wraps around our internal organs and leeches poison in to our bodies. It also greatly increases our chances of developing heart disease and diabetes. So take a look at your belly this week, and decide if you need to slim down a bit. Wrap a tape measure around the biggest part of your waist, and if it’s more than half your height, it's worth losing a few of those extra centimetres.”

This week the team at Anytime Fitness Hobsonville are offering free measurements for men and women, feel free to speak to our staff for more information

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? đŸ„

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
