This time of the year sees many of us packing our suitcases and heading away for a much-needed break. However, limited gym access doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a great workout.

The Anytime Fitness App offers hundreds of pre-designed workout plans – many of which can be done without the need for equipment. For example, the 4-week ‘Bodyweight Strength’ plan offers a range of high-intensity workouts that can be done using only your bodyweight.

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Lightning and Thunder on Tuesday 4 December

Matt from Henderson

Did anyone notice the thunder and lightning on Tuesday? I was organizing my newspapers at 8.30 am that day and I heard a big bang of thunder just outside my garage. Did see about 2 or 3 flashes lightning before that. Scary bangs I thought. What you all think?
