Put the Fun in Fitness
Getting fit doesn’t have to mean joining a gym or a serious sporting team. Exercise can be fun and inexpensive, if you know where to start!
Getting Started
If you haven’t been active for a while, getting started can seem a huge effort. Start slowly with activities you enjoy and step it up when you feel ready. Overdoing it in the early stages will result in aches and possibly damage to your muscles and joints.
It is very important that you see your doctor before starting on any new exercise program, particularly if you are:
- Very overweight;
- Over 40 years;
- Prone to fainting, dizzy spells or chest pain;
- Already diagnosed with a serious illness, or at risk for heart disease;
- Pregnant.
According to Australia’s National Physical Activity Guidelines, the minimum recommended amount of exercise is 30 minutes of ‘moderate’ activity at least five times a week. ‘Moderate’ activity is anything that causes a slight but noticeable increase in breathing and heart rate.
- Remember always to warm up before and stretch after exercise;
- Try a combination of various activities, ‘cross-training’ promotes better aerobic health;
- If you feel tired, rest – but remember that regularity is the key to fitness;
- Choose an exercise that you enjoy, you’ll be more likely to stick with it.
Fun and Low Cost Activities
Walking is the cheapest option for getting started. Incorporating walking into your daily routine is easy to do. Why not walk sometimes instead of driving? You could try:
- Walking with your kids – it’s fun and passes on healthy habits;
- Walking with friends, or find a dog for company;
- Choosing various paths and different routes to minimise boredom, or walking at different times of day;
- Driving to different walking tracks and parks for variety.
Most city and regional areas have walking clubs for all ages and levels of fitness. Search the web or contact your local council for information.
For safety, remember:
- Wear a hat and sunscreen at all times of day;
- Wear appropriate shoes;
- Take water with you.
Other fun and simple exercises include:
- Swimming or gentle bicycle riding;
- Golf or tennis with friends;
- Yoga, Pilates or Tai Chi at your local community centre;
Dancing is quickly becoming a national pastime. Various companies such as the Australian Dance Council offer classes for adults at all stages. Classes are usually casual and there are always beginners classes offered.
Team sports might be daunting but there are many available to people of all ages and states of health. The Government sponsored Ausport website is national and extremely helpful.
Benefits for All Ages
The benefits of being active are plentiful. Advantages include:
- Feeling energetic and strong;
- The release of endorphins, the body’s “happy” chemicals;
- A reduction in stress and anxiety;
- Weight loss;
- Reduced risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis;
- Increased flexibility and movement;
- A good night’s sleep.
If you have children, being active shows them a way of being fit that’s fun and simple. Children model their parents’ behaviour, and active children are more likely to be fit and energetic in adulthood.
- Family exercise time doesn’t have to be a chore for anyone – turn off the TV once a week and try something different, like bowling or skating.
Over the age of 50, starting an exercise program can be tough, but not impossible. It is vital that you see a doctor first to establish what kind of workout is right for you.
- It is a myth that older bodies don’t need as much exercise, or are too weak. Exercise is still vital.
- The activities may be different from your younger days, but still hugely beneficial.
If you have a chronic illness, consult closely with your doctor and physiotherapist to create a personal and fun fitness program.

Peter Croker’s Path to Better Golf $99.95 Regular Price $149.95 — Special Limited Time Offer $99.95 Peter Croker’s Path to Better Golf Serious students and golf instructors rate Peter Croker as one of the most important teachers of this era. Internationally based, Peter Croker travels across Europe, the US, Asia and Australia annually delivering seminars, teaching schools and working with teachers wanting to improve results for their own students. Peter has also worked with a number of PGA pros who would rather not let it be known where their secrets come from. A little research will reveal who they are… All over the world, Peter’s Professional Teaching “Students” are sought out by golfers and recognized by their golfing association peers as being Top Teachers in their sections. In 2002 Harper Collins published his Path to Better Golf Book. He has been featured in Golf Digest, appeared on the Golf Channel and written about in many golf publications worldwide. This DVD set introduces you to the definitions used, an understanding of “cause and effect” and a new understanding of how proper alignments help create truly effortless yet powerful results. The First Lesson is comprised of the definitions as well as demonstrations which will help the viewer understand how for years golfers have been confused by “illusions” related to lag and weight shift. The next lesson covers Putting. A number of important drills are demonstrated. Along with the drills, Peter discusses how to gain a consistent stroke and understand the mechanics at work on the green. Chipping is the next lesson in the series. In it you will learn the proper grip, stance, posture and alignments necessary to build a great short game, and the foundation for the full swing as well. You will discover the impact zone, and how compressing the golf ball leads to distance control. Several major breakthroughs await the patient student in this section. Following on from the Chipping lesson is Pitching. In this lesson, the student learns the proper method to load the hands in the back swing, maintain balance throughout the swing and stay relaxed. The student will gain an entirely new appreciation for how the hands help create the swing and allow the body to turn back and through resulting in a well struck shot. The final lesson on Disc One is Full Swing Part One. In this lesson Peter reviews grip, stance, posture as well as the other component parts of the swing such as forward press, waggle and takeaway. Disc Two continues the Full Swing Lessons with Parts Two through Four. These lessons demonstrate the body pivot, top of the back swing, going “A to B”, start and end of impact, release, follow-through and finish. Drills associated with this section will enable the student to get beyond the thinking. Finally, watch Peter as he plays a few holes and follow along as he talks you through his though process and course management ideas. No complete catalog |
