Winter's gone, spring is definitely here. Why not try and do something a bit different this summer, you never know - it could be fun!
So go ahead, be brave and pick something to do just a bit beyond your comfort zone and you never know - you may just succeed!

What a cool thing to do. Activity can be fun and for all. And how lucky are we to have such a scenic neighbourhood to live in.

We have moved - but not far!
The East Care Physio clinic is now around the back of the same site. Drive in as usual but drive straight on and go behind the main Urgent Care Clinic. Park and walk up the ramp and take the first door (right beside the Specialist Centre) where there is a lift or stairs. Head on up to the first floor and you'll find us there in lovely peaceful big rooms.

Was great to be a part of this rowing coaching weekend hosted by St Georges Rowing Club at Panmure. Rose ran a session on movement and core control for rowers with lots of ideas for the rowers to take away and work on. Loved being involved with the weekend.

Big congrats to all those runners who 'enjoyed' running cross country in the weekend. Pakuranga Athletics club hosted an event and welcomed all ages to run a true 'cross country' event. Don't ever let a bit of rain and mud slow you down!!

Snacking - meaning "Exercise Snacking" is a concept that is helping make exercise attainable to all. Done briefly a few times a day; only taking a couple of minutes, done anywhere, no gym membership, uniform or equipment needed, just do something that raises your heart rate. Try a quick walk down the corridor and back, walk quickly up two flights of stairs, or do 20 chair squats then settle back to your work. Doing Exercise Snacking produces considerable health benefits so give it a try, we could all take 2 minutes!

Have negative thoughts when the word ‘exercise’ is mentioned? Just think of it as ‘movement’ so consider that this year you will ‘move a little more’.

OPINION: Why is there a queue outside the gym in January, but by mid-February you can take your pick of exercise stations? Maybe people’s resolutions are just too ambitious.

The high school students are nearly done as NCEA winds up for another year. So after weeks of being bent over a desk studying and sitting exams, it's time to get those teenagers 'straightened up' and out the door for some fresh air.

The Joy Workout was recently demonstrated on TV3 The Project. Such a simple thing to do. Designed and developed by Kelly McGonigal who has investigated the link between movement and wellbeing. She has created a short simple routine (only 8 mins) of doing a few key movements that are designed to both stimulate your body but also your brain to gain positive energy .... and bring you 'Joy'.
