25.01.2022 A look back over the last week from our Kingscliff sessions. Everyone has come so far with noticeable improvements in their strength & fitness. Lots of enthusiasm for our Monday boxing sessions...think we may have watched one too many Rocky movies!!

23.01.2022 It may have been a bit chilly this morning but studies have shown that exercising in winter can help your immune system ward off cold & flu viruses. Exercise is really well associated with how well our immune function works, in lots of different ways says Kate Edwards- a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Health Sciences University of Sydney.

22.01.2022 Our exercise group was created for our 50+ community. However 50+ can be a bit misleading as we really have a diverse group that we are able to work out with. So, we have our youngsters still in their 50’s, many, like me, 60+, some in their 70’s & we also have some wonderful 80+ Everyone that trains with us is living proof that you don’t just give up on life because you reach a certain age. Look at it this way, your getting smarter & more experienced as life goes on! Exerc...ise for older adults is often stereotyped as ‘gentle exercise for seniors’. This is far from reality as to what we should be doing for exercise. Thankfully we have an amazing community that have grown together & support each other through exercise. Have posted a few reminders of what we used to get up to not so long ago. Don’t give up on your health & keep doing what you can. The videos I have posted in our FB group should help but let me know if you have questions on any of the workouts. See more

21.01.2022 Happy days with our awesome 8.30 Kingscliff team. Plus, super happy birthdays to both Jo & Linda today. Have fun today and look forward to our double birthday workout celebration tomorrow.

21.01.2022 Great start to the week with our Boxing session at Kingscliff Beach. Great work ladies!!!

21.01.2022 I have been working towards this Womens Wellness Certificate course over the past year. Exercise is an important part of this puzzle but now I can pick up & share so many more pieces of that BIGGER picture that makes up the 3rd Age Woman.

19.01.2022 Amazing morning training with this group. So much enthusiasm starting our classes at Hastings Point Retirement Community!! They all had many different reasons to start exercise...but each had made the same choice to better their health and just start.

18.01.2022 Recovery day today so the pool for a few laps was the perfect place on this beautiful day. With Lynn C (the Champ).

17.01.2022 Christmas Party 2017 to celebrate another awesome year with the Burleigh "Gym Junkies", thank you all for making my job the best!! Thank you also for the awesome gift...I couldn't think of anything more appropriatemuch appreciated. Lovely lunch with good friends & a beautiful venue, thanks Dawn.

17.01.2022 Looking after our knees. Working on leg strength & control with single leg wall sits.

16.01.2022 Big birthday morning today with lots of PB,s & a fun workout. Well done, massive effort all round today.

16.01.2022 Happy 70th birthday to our pocket rocket Lynn... her goal was to lift 70kg by her birthday. Well past her body weight!!Ticked offwell done Lynn!

15.01.2022 What a way to go for our interval finisher. These ladies rock the waves every time they pick the tubes up. It may be lightweight but one of the best all over body workouts for your 20-30 seconds of work.

15.01.2022 Absolutely magical day outside today for our strength class in Kingscliff.

14.01.2022 So...what were we meant to be doing with these bands again?

13.01.2022 New schedule and venue for Kingscliff!! Commencing Tuesday 2nd July our Kingscliff class will now be held at XCell Health & Fitness in the Group fitness room. There will be an intro & FREE trial class Tuesday 25th June at 8am

12.01.2022 Our good news for the week is that we are finally heading back into the gym. BURLEIGH normal class starting tomorrow 6th June. Saturday: 8.15am Wednesday: 7.00am... KINGSCLIFF: starting Tuesday 16th Tuesday: 7.00am and 8.00am Thursday: 7.00am and 8.00am Classes at this stage will be limited to 10 people until further restrictions are lifted. We will add the extra classes as needed.

12.01.2022 This year is slipping away far too quickly and there have been many off enjoying lots of holiday adventures making for a fab lifestyle. and there are still more travel plans coming up for some!! Over the past few weeks we have been working on pulling, pushing & lateral movements along with ongoing balance work, & those 1 legged movements you all love so much!

11.01.2022 Because we all LOVE deadlifting.......here is another interesting article on the benefits of weight training and why we need to continue our strength exercises as age. "Half of all women & one quarter of all men over 50 will have a fracture caused by osteoporosis over their lifetimes. Stressing bones through exercise can help stimulate their growth. The real win is to maintain current bone-mineral density in the face of the losses that typically happen with ageing.... Bone building happens specifically at the areas of the bone you stress during your workout. For this reason a deadlift is one of the best exercises because it uses the big muscles around the hips & hamstrings causing muscles to pull on the bone"

11.01.2022 Monday morning movers at Kingscliff Beach park this morning. Well done ladies

11.01.2022 Working hard on Saturday morning...and Tuesday, well, the furkids were with us today but we still managed to get some box burpees done!! Enjoy your holiday Rose & see you in a couple of months!

11.01.2022 Yaywe’ll done Lynn on your Gold Run performance. That half marathon is looking better all the time

10.01.2022 A bit of rain & a coolish morning in Kingscliff didn’t stop our Thursday morning tribe today. They warmed up pretty quickly & just got on with what they do best....laughter & lifting, in no particular order!!

10.01.2022 Just a reminder there will be no class on Saturday 14th. I will be competing in the Masters League State of Origin Crossfit competition on Friday night & Saturday. It is held at the Sports Super Centre Runaway Bay & my heat times for Saturday are 10.40am, 12.50pm & 3.50pm if you want to come & cheer for the Masters competing from ages 35 right through to 60+. Have a good weekend everyone!!

09.01.2022 Here is some inspiration from our class with the pressing overhead movement. This is just one of the strength exercises we do on a regular basis that can help improve on their ability to manage everyday living tasks & activities. As we age we need to keep moving but we also need to include resistance training into our exercise routine. Weighted work = more muscle Improves & maintains muscle mass... Improves & maintains positive metabolic rate Improves posture & gait Improves & maintains muscle tone See more

07.01.2022 Helen (age 71)has come such a long way considering the limitations she has with back, hips & shoulders. With some major strength & balance issues here she is deloading with bands and now able to obtain almost a full range of motion on her split squat. She combines this with work on a Goblet Box squat which reinforces the correct movement for her squat while building strength & stability through a full body movement.

06.01.2022 Just awesomeness all round this past week. Started last Saturday with PB’s for everyone on their Bench Press..Adelia 26kg, Helen 21kg, Yvonne 30kg, Lynn G 31kg, Sharyn 48.5. Finished this Saturday with squats & deadlifts & everything else in between. Well done everyone!!
