24.01.2022 Men's Health Week continues and today we are talking about exercise. Have a watch of this and think about what exercise you (or the men in your life) are doing. Try to do 30 minutes a day. It doesn't have to be structured, it can be playing with the kids, taking the dog for a walk or just choosing to cycle or walk instead of driving.

24.01.2022 LAST CHANCE Friday morning at 7am Belinda Batchelor from The Fiit Space Kerang is hosting our final Women in the Warra fitness class at Atkinson Park Kerang. A great chance to get a good workout in before the day heats up. Go to www.ndch.org.au/events.html to register.

There are no other lockdown rules for Cohuna. Once you're got a negative test result, you can then go out for the same 5 reasons as everyone else: - Food and supplies - Authorised work - Care and caregiving... - Exercise, for up to two hours and with one other person, and - Getting vaccinated. That's the authorised, statewide guidance.
