23.01.2022 Taking sit to stand to the next level or should I say the next level down. A lot of older adults struggle to get up from low chairs but not with these 2 ladies. Stay agile and strong!

19.01.2022 As a "sole trader" i have no direct manager or boss, therefore no one to pat me on the back when I do something outstanding, therefore in this case I have to blow my own trumpet. So, congratulations to me on my 10 year anniversary as a fitness professional. 17/10/2007 I got my first certificate in fitness (cert 3). Since then I have added cert 4, aqua, pilates and more recently tai chi while continuing to teach and practice taekwondo and other martial arts. With the help of... many organisations and people (too many to list) I have built up my business to a point where I teach about 35 classes a week. Like any job its hard work but I love my role as a fitness and martial arts Instructor. Most of all I enjoy teaching a variety of modalities and ages which keeps it fresh and interesting. I look forward to the next 10 years of health, fitness and martial arts. See more

17.01.2022 A year ago I got qualified as Tai Chi Instructor. Over the last year I have mainly been teaching the "Tai Chi Warm Up" as part of my Gentle Exercise classes while continuing to practice the Tai Chi for Arthritis & Falls Prevention form in my own time. Over the last 3 weeks I had the opportunity to teach "Tai Chi" at Willoughby. The class was well received by regulars & fortunately one of the participants took some snaps of me. Iam officially starting a class at Brookvale Studio Fridays 1130am-1230pm from this week.

16.01.2022 Photos: The (Holding)"Side Kick Challenge" is complete. Practice has been done, photos have been taken (after couple of attempts), 1st, 2nd and 3rd now announce...d. While it might be relatively easy on your own but co-ordinating as a group is harder. Its with mixed feelings the winner (as voted by a independent party) is my Thursday yoga class at Willoughby. No prizes just a bit of fun. My side kick from Castle Hill, Townsville in 2008 thrown into the mix. See more

15.01.2022 Its time to "Get Fit Kids". For 6-16 yo. Starts Tue 4 Aug 4pm.

14.01.2022 Its official Iam qualified Tai Chi Instructor!. It was amazing experience to be taught first hand by Dr Paul Lam & his Master Trainers. While my Tai Chi journe...y has just started I already have a new perspective on the definition of strength (more focus on internal rather than external), mental quietness (what they call jing), good posture & balance for falls prevention. Tai Chi classes will be starting soon. In the meantime, I will be incorporating the Tai Chi warm up into my Gentle Exercise classes. See more

14.01.2022 This is an overview (pictures only) of this week's Pilates workout of week - the 1 Dumbbell workout. All you need is a 1-3kg DB. It's about control not strength. 1 Dumbbell "unbalances" the body & therefore the body (core stabilising muscles) have to work harder to perform the movements correctly. New Pilates class added to my online timetable - Wednesdays (tonight) 6-7pm. I will running through this particular workout. To book: http://bestbalance.com.au/timetables/

11.01.2022 Here is the "9 week arm balance challenge" that we started this term but didnt finish. My Thursday yoga class at Willoughby completed the challenge. Sit ups/cru...nches have their purpose for strengthening the abs but these exercises /postures work your core bigtime (and require flexibility). Photos by Sarayah Duncan (my 7 yo). See more

05.01.2022 Best Balance Health & Fitness (my business) has been operating officially since August 2008. Since 2009 I have been awarding a "Student of the Year" or multiple "Students of the Year" due to the vast nature of my business (different modalities including taekwondo, seniors, pilates and different locations). Last year marked 10 years so I put all the champions on a special memorial shield. Its good to see over half of the people listed are still training with me today
