24.01.2022 Obesity is the untouched pandemic that is destroying our children. Who would have thought it can be cured by a little exercise and healthier eating habits. Physical activity helps to beat the demons that haunt so many children and young adolescents. These boys have become an inspiration to their families and friends. More on their stories coming soon The solutions start here https://www.fabtobefit.org.au/ride-to-life... #beatingchildhoodobesity #fightingchildhooddepression #keepingkidshealthy #activekidsarehappykids #physicalactivityhelpsthebrain #gettingkidsactive #ChildhoodDepression

24.01.2022 A MASSIVE thank you to all of you who supported the Fab to be Fit Foundation team who completed the gruelling Spartan Beast Race in Picton, raising money so that we can continue to deliver fitness and nutrition programs into high-density Indigenous and low socio-economic schooling communities across NSW. Weve raised over $600 so far from this event and still going...

23.01.2022 Hi everyone... Now that we are a registered Charity with our authority to fundraise, we are now seeking Expressions of Interest from enthusiastic and dedicated riders, interested in joining Dr Koala (Gary M Leong) and myself as we Ride Around Australia from June - October 2019 to raise money for schools in high Indigenous and low socio-economic communities, helping to deliver structured PE, fitness and interactive Nutrition programs. Riders can choose to ride 1, 2, many or ...even all 8 stages with Dr K and I as we stop off in rural /regional communities around Australia to spread our message about keeping healthy and active. Riders will pay a nominal participation fee to cover their food, accommodation, Rider kits, etc (fee will depend on the length of their chosen Stage) and will also have a realistic and achievable Sponsorship Target to raise (e.g. $5,000) between now and June next year as part of our overall Fundraising Strategy to raise $3 million in 2019/20 for these kids. So if YOU, or if you know anyone who could be interested in joining Dr Koala and I on part of this epic journey, please share this fb post - wed love to hear from you. We will only be asking 4 riders to join us on each of the 8 stages. Happy to provide more details upon request. Our kids are Australias hope of tomorrow. Its time someone stood up for them today! And please welcome to check out our website www.fabtobefit.org.au Big Kev See more

23.01.2022 Hi folks, Understanding the impact of Covid-19 and the need to be socially responsible, this is for all the mums and dads out there experiencing a bit of cabin fever with the family... Ive been asked by a couple of parents if I would run a fun outdoor program for kids over the coming weeks. I would be happy to design a 1hr outdoor TRANSFORM-US Fitness for Kids & Fab to be Fit style program for groups of 5 (not 10). This would be a functional body weight exercise program t...hat would not need the kids to handle equipment. I would run several sessions (by age). A great way to replace what the kids are missing due to their absence from school in a controlled environment with social distancing being my absolute priority. Kids would require their own towel, drinks, snacks and protective wipes. Feel welcome to share this with friends and inbox me if interested. Big Kev See more

21.01.2022 Games, games and more games! Well run games improve cardio, general fitness, hand-eye coordination and object control skills, not to mention kids simply having fun and enjoying their time in the playground during their PE and Sport period. We just loooove working with this high-density Indigenous school to help give their students a healthy, more active start in life

21.01.2022 Fab to be Fit Foundation is proud to partner with #SUUNTO Sports Watches of Australia to help track and monitor the daily activity and sleeping habits of our kids.

18.01.2022 One of my greatest accomplishments in life, but I could not have achieved this without a team of LEGENDS that I rode with and without such an incredible support team, when we took the Guinness World Record back in September last year. This now hangs with pride in my office. Dont let anything get in the way of your dreams. If you have the determination and commitment, anything is possible.

18.01.2022 Childhood obesity ends NOW. Thats how we see it. I hated school and life in general... Hear how Roeras life has literally turned the corner with the introduction of a simple strategy and the discovery of enjoying physical activity. His story and more, coming soon...

17.01.2022 The amazing sense of fulfilment you get when youre invited as special guests to the end of year musical production at a school in the north-west that youve delivered over $35,000 of Fitness and PE programs all year FOR FREE to help their low socio-economic schooling community to increase their levels of fitness, social interaction and academic performance. Estelle and I loved their fantastic 2hr performance. Just seeing the kids involved and smiling at their parents in the crowd melted our hearts. Well done WINDSOR SOUTH PUBLIC PRIMARY - take a bow students, production director, teachers and volunteers who made this performance such a success

17.01.2022 Some things are just worth crowing about... Congratulations to our incredible team of riders, volunteers, sponsors and supporters. You have made this a reality.

17.01.2022 Momentum continues to build for our new charity, with an invitation from the NSW Minister for Health to meet with his Deputy-Director, Office of Preventative Health, to discuss our goals, funding needs and outcomes. Very exciting... not to mention the ongoing planning as Dr Koala and I prepare to ride around Australia (14,000kms) on bicycles in 3.5months next year. Its FAB TO BE FIT!

17.01.2022 2019 is going to be an amazing year for our charity. This will be our chance to help kids from high-density Indigenous and low socio-economic communities shine. Thank you to all of you for supporting our cause this far. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and safe holidays.

16.01.2022 As our Charity - Fab to be Fit Foundation makes preparations for our first major fundraising event in 2019 (Big Kev and Dr Koala (Assoc. Prof. Gary Leong) will ride the circumference of Australia (15,000km) on bicycles in 90 days). it was such an honour to meet one of the true legends of this sport (Rupert Guinness), arguably the best and most respected Journalist in the world for major sporting events (including 3 decades of reporting on the Tour de France) as he launches his memoirs of his epic ride across Australia unsupported in 2017. I will most certainly be taking notes as I read this book with anticipated interest... #enduranceriding #ridearoundaustralia #keepingkidsactive

16.01.2022 Loved pulling on the old Guinness World Record ride gear provided by Tineli Australia to head out for a bike ride with Estelle Capsanis on a stunning ANZAC Day as we support keeping healthy and active during these challenging times, no matter the circumstance or your age... Stay healthy, safe & well everyone

15.01.2022 This young lady is one of the most inspirational humans I have ever met... Jacqueline’s story just has to be heard. In just 12 months, her life has turned around - physically, mentally & emotionally. I’m not going to tell you how much weight she’s lost, nor how dark her hours of need were. You’re just going to have to follow her amazing story over the next 3 months.... There are so many stories like Jacqui’s - and we’re only just scratching the surface.

15.01.2022 Madness comes in many shapes and forms... This one came in the form of 15 incredible athletes (well 14 athletes plus me) smashing the current Guinness World Record for Longest Static Cycle Class. 27hrs (non-stop) with these amazing souls as we raised money to deliver physical activity and healthy eating programs into disadvantaged and high-density Indigenous schooling communities across NSW. Huge shout-out to Cycology Club, Pasta Pantry, scienceinsport.my, Tineli New Zealand, Woolworths and TRANSFORM-US Fitness for Kids Pty Ltd for providing facilities, products and resources.

09.01.2022 Sooooo excited to announce that our major event RIDE AROUND AUSTRALIA is back on! We will be departing the Sydney Opera House on 31 May 2022, riding anticlockwise around Australia and returning in early Oct 2022. Dr Gary M Leong and I plan on riding 14,000km, 95 days in the saddle and 128 days in total. The Foundations two other Directors - Prof. Fiona Naumann and well-known Australian hero Erik de Haart will take time out of their busy schedules to ride stages as will our... National Ambassador, the legendary Phil Anderson. I have just under two years to pull this together. TV Networks, Corporate Sponsors, Philanthropists, Volunteer Support Crew, Riders and Suppliers are all on my target list! Raising money to help kids in high density Indigenous and low socio-economic communities suffering from mental, emotional and physical conditions. Nothing more rewarding... See more

08.01.2022 This is a shout out to my dear friend (and Director of @fabtobefitfoundation) who’s latest book - Ride To life, has just won ‘Best Health & Well-being Book’ in the Australian Business books Awards. This is a must-read, no-nonsense view on keeping families healthy through good food and activity from a paediatric specialist of 30yrs. Congratulations Dr Koala. Well done!

08.01.2022 Sitting here compiling all of the video and photographic evidence, Witness Statements, Timekeeper Logs and other supporting material for Guinness World Records and I stumbled across the point when we broke the current World Record (video shows footage from both cameras (front and rear)). We may not be the greatest singers, but after 27hrs non-stop, 140,000 pedal revolutions each, 12,000 cals burned and riding the equivalent of 660km... who cares! What an emotional moment for riders, our amazing volunteer Support Crew and our Sponsors. Massive shout-out to our Instructor, the one and only James Lamb Chops for getting us ALL to the finish line in one piece - not to mention adding another hour to the world record

08.01.2022 Fab to be Fit Foundation now has wheels! Yipeeeee

06.01.2022 Raising awareness and much needed donations and funding to help deliver proven, structured Physical Activity programs for kids attending high-density Indigenous and low SES primary schooling communities across NSW has now become my primary focus in life. Too many of our kids here in Australia are overweight or obese. Whats worse, is their fitness levels are in decline. If we dont address this in their childhood, it typically becomes too late in their teens and early adult ...years. As a nation, our childrens numeracy and literacy is also falling well behind other poorer nations (we now sit behind Serbia, Kazakhstan, Croatia, Czech Republic, etc) with international data supporting a common link between increased fitness and improved cognitive control. Fab to be Fit Foundation Limited is working tirelessly to address this major social problem and significant tax-payer cost. One of our upcoming fundraising events is an attempt on the Guinness World Record for Longest Static Indoor Cycle Class. I am putting together a crack team as we look to break the current WR of 26hr 04mins 24sec. We will be holding this event at the amazing Cycology Club in Surry Hills owned by David Finnimore (who is graciously supporting our cause). We also have OneFitStop (donating their online group fitness booking system) and Pasta Pantry (our teams carb, protein and food requirements for the duration of the event). A massive THANK YOU to these wonderful partners Our plan is to have the network TV news crews follow our attempt and more import, our cause. We also plan on having a range of incredible SPONSORED prizes in the form of a Raffle Draw at the completion of the event for those who donate/support/ride with the team during the event. I would be indebted to anyone who works in a company that may like to donate prizes for this raffle (e.g. travel & holiday packages, memberships, products (electronic, homeware, giftware), automotive or cycling, gift vouchers, etc.) No prize donated is too small! Our team of riders is looking to raise $50,000 from this event that will go towards running such worthwhile programs into these schooling communities. To give you some understanding of our challenge - it will be like riding 27 x Spin classes in a row, riding 745km and burning 14,000 cal in a single day. PLEASE... help us to help our kids...

05.01.2022 What a day... Spartan Beast (21km and 34 gruelling obstacle challenges). Cant say how inspiring the Fab to be Fit Foundation team were. Massive thanks to Mel Innes for her PT sessions, that certainly helped to get us through. Mel, Lush Hughes, Emma Smith, Orla Lonergan, Simon Allaway, Zachary Bullivant and Cande Brun - TRUE SPARTANS... (Note: everyone else had finished, showered and changed by the time Hippo came through the finish line)

05.01.2022 There are pandemics affecting Australian families far greater than Covid-19 right now... With 1.09 million children and young adolescents in Australia considered overweight or obese and another half a million kids experiencing some form of mental health disorder, change needs to happen and quickly. Over the next 12 months, we will be showcasing a selection of incredible stories on how some kids have beaten their demons and are now living healthier and happier lives. ... We are proud to share these stories of transformation, and ask that you come with us on this journey. If this resonates with you or someone you know, please tag your friends and share our story - as we begin our journey of owning this issue, and impacting the outcome of our younger populations' lives.
