23.01.2022 The Mother’s Day fun run is only TWO days away! As well as raising money to fund further breast cancer research, there are so many reasons to get involved in the Mother’s Day Fun Run on the 12th of May at Southbank, Brisbane. Despite the money raised to fund further breast cancer research there are very good reasons we support and personally take part in the women’s day fun run on the 12th of May, South Bank, Brisbane. Did you know that: ... If you exercise you decrease the risk of breast cancer recurrence! -An Australian study has also shown that the risk of dying may be nearly halved by regularly walking and lifting moderate weights. -Those with cancer who exercised reduced their risk of developing secondary, or metastatic breast cancer by 35% and side-effects from chemotherapy were reported to be less intense. Fitter people are less likely to have cancer - According to World Cancer Research Fund vigorous exercise, like cycling or running, cuts the risk of post-menopausal breast cancer by 10% compared to women who were the least active in the study. Cancer survivors who exercise report improved quality of life, decrease anxiety and increase energy levels when compare to those who don’t exercise. By participating in this social event, we want to support this amazing low risk intervention to decrease the risk of cancer, improve the survival and quality of life for all the breast cancer patients. Show us support by liking and following us! We hope to see you on the 12th!

20.01.2022 Get ready to warm up! With the Mothers Day Fun Run quickly approaching, we thought it might be helpful to share some of our stretching tips and tricks to ensure youre #runready. It is really important to make sure you warm up prior to running or performing any form of exercise. Pick warm up exercises specific to the moments you're going to be performing. Dynamic stretches or movement stretches are really important to warm up the muscle and increase its range of motion... therefore helping to reduce the risk of injury and helps you to run with better form. Some dynamic stretches that are good for running are: High knee marching Leg swings Arm swings Bum kicks What are your favourite warm up stretches? #stretching #warmup #getready #exercise #runprep #CPEXBrisbane #CPEX #Mothersday #FunRun #Cancerawareness #Eventsbrisbane

20.01.2022 Did someone say smoothie? Before the Mothers Day Fun Run we will be diving into a delicious and nutritious smoothie recipe to keep us energised during the event! Our accredited Dietitian Amy Morze found this moreish recipe from Dietitian Connection and we just had to share! This recipe is low GI and can be modified to suit your dietary requirements. Banana and Berry Smoothie ... Ingredients: 1 large banana 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries 2 teaspoons wheatgerm 1/2 cup low-fat milk 1/2 cup low-fat strawberry yoghurt 2 teaspoons honey Method: Place banana, berries, wheatgerm, milk, yoghurt and honey in a blender. Note: 1. If you dont have wheat germ you can omit it from the recipe or replace with 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup oats. This will increase energy, carbohydrate and fibre content amongst other nutrients! 2. If you want to decrease the energy content or go for something lighter, reduce yoghurt to 2 tablespoons. This will decrease energy and fat content. 3. You could always try adding some chia seeds, this will boost fibre and nutrients but not a good idea to try before exercise if you havent tried previously as it could upset your stomach. 4. Be creative, swap fruit and use what you have in the fridge. Frozen fruit comes in handy for smoothie recipes, it is also cost effective and leads to less waste. Enjoy!

07.01.2022 Stretching tip #3 You've probably still got adrenaline rushing through your veins, but remember to take it easy after to race- your body needs time to recover! After the race try not to sit down, try to just walk around slowly to keep the blood pumping around the body. The days following the race just keep it really light, go for some walks to stretch out the muscles and keep the blood flow going to the muscles. ... So when should I start training again? When to start training again does really depend on the length and intensity of the run but generally giving the body a few days rest with some light runs or walks to begin with before getting back into normal training is suggested. #CPEXBrisbane #CPEX #Mothersday #FunRun #Cancerawareness #Brisbane #BreastCancer #Loveyourmum #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerwarrior #Eventsbrisbane #postrun #recover #stretch #excited

01.01.2022 Stretching tip #2 Once the run is over, do you know how to stretch after to prevent injury and or muscle soreness? After a run you're probably going to have some tight muscles including your quadriceps, hamstrings, calfs, ITBS and gluteus muscles because they have worked hard to get you through the run. ... Stretching out these tight muscles by performing some static stretching or hold stretching will help to lengthen out the muscles. Stretching after your run can help reduce cramping, improve flexibility and reduce soreness post run. Remember you should never feel pain when stretching if you do please consult a trained health professional. #CPEXBrisbane #CPEX #Mothersday #FunRun #Cancerawareness #Brisbane #BreastCancer #Loveyourmum #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerwarrior #Eventsbrisbane #stretching #recover
