Active Range

🎄December Schedule is READY 🎄

Our studio will be open until Friday, December 20!

After that, we'll be taking a short break to recharge and get ready to come back stronger in 2025 with fresh goals and elevated training.

Let’s make the rest of 2024 count! 💪🌟

Strong bones need your attention early for a lifetime of confidence and adventure.

Building strong bones in your teens sets the foundation for a lifetime of health, confidence, and resilience. During adolescence, bones undergo rapid growth and absorb nutrients like calcium and Vitamin D more efficiently, which are essential for developing peak bone mass. This is the time when your bones become denser and stronger, creating a solid framework that will support you in adulthood and beyond.

However, maintaining bone health doesn’t stop in your teens. From your 30s onward, your bones gradually lose density, making it crucial to stay active. Engaging in weight-bearing exercises, getting adequate nutrition, and staying consistent with bone-strengthening activities are key.

These habits not only help to slow bone loss but also build muscle strength, reducing the risk of falls, which lead to fractures.

Is it time to give your bones a little love and attention? 💚

🦴 World Osteoporosis Day 🦴

Today is the perfect reminder to be proactive about your bone health!

Osteoporosis often goes unnoticed until it’s too late, but we can change that. Start by detecting early with a bone scan—knowledge is power! 💪

Support your bones with bone-boosting nutrition, and find a community that supports you in staying active. Exercise is key to stressing the bones in a healthy way, keeping them strong for the future! 🏋️‍♀️

This week, we’re sharing some bone-boosting tips and special deals to help you get started.

Let’s take action together and keep those bones strong for years of adventure ahead!

"Nurture your bones from within before they break, because prevention is the strongest form of protection."

Yes, collagen is indeed a protein that plays a crucial role in the body’s overall health, including providing structure to bones, skin, muscles, and connective tissue.

Collagen and Bone Health: Collagen makes up a large part of bone mass. Together with calcium and Vitamin D, collagen helps maintain strong bones. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, and collagen provides the structural framework for bones. So, while Vitamin D supports calcium metabolism, collagen ensures the bone matrix remains strong and flexible.

Vitamin D: This vitamin is critical for bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption. A deficiency in Vitamin D could impact bone health, leading to conditions like osteoporosis.

Since Vitamin D is difficult to obtain solely from diet and many people don't get enough sun exposure, adding it to Bone Smart Collagen ensures a more comprehensive support for bone health.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our 800 September Step Challenge!

The feedback has been fantastic – many of you shared how it was a great way to kick off the month and keep track of those steps. It’s inspiring to see so many of you moving towards your goals!

Remember, just because September is over doesn’t mean we stop stepping!

Let’s keep that momentum going and continue challenging ourselves every day. Whether you're walking, running, or simply staying active, every step counts towards a healthier, more vibrant life.

Now who is joining me in the Blackall 100 event next year? 🤷‍♀️

🚨 Did you know your grip strength is a key to your active, long future? 🚨

Your grip isn’t just about holding onto things—it’s a powerful predictor of your overall strength, bone health, and even longevity!

💪 Strong grip = stronger body, better balance, and a lower risk of fractures, falls, and chronic health issues.

No fancy equipment? No problem! Try the ‘Hang Tough’ challenge—aim to hang from a bar for 90 seconds (ladies) or 120 seconds (gents).
 
This small step today can lead to BIG results tomorrow.

Share your hang tough time, together we get STRONG!!

 

The 8000 September Step Challenge 👣

Walking is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve your health, and spring is the perfect season to start or renew this habit. Here’s why you should consider walking for your health this spring:

1. Rejuvenate Your Body After Winter
After the colder months, when we’re often less active, walking helps to gently reintroduce physical activity into your daily routine. It’s a low-impact exercise that strengthens your heart, improves circulation, and boosts your immune system.

2. Boost Mental Health
Spring brings longer days and more sunlight, which can naturally lift your mood. Walking outside in the fresh air can further reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

3. Support Weight Management
Regular brisk walking can help you burn calories, tone muscles, and increase your metabolism, all of which contribute to healthy weight management.

4. Strengthen Bones and Joints
As we age, maintaining bone density and joint flexibility becomes crucial. Walking is a weight-bearing exercise that helps with the bones, especially if we add a weight vest. It also improves joint mobility, reducing the risk of stiffness and pain, making it easier to stay active as you get older.

6. Socialise and Connect
Walking can be a social activity, offering a great opportunity to connect with friends, family, or even meet new people. Join our private Active Range Community group to hear of upcoming spring nature walks.

7. Build a Lifelong Habit
Spring is a time of new beginnings, making it the ideal season to start a walking habit that you can carry into the rest of the year. By starting now, you’ll be more likely to keep up with your routine during the warmer months and establish a habit that can benefit you for a lifetime.

Taking 8000 steps more than three times a week significantly reduces your risk of chronic health problems. This September, we're challenging you to put on your active watch and get stepping 👣👣👣

Keeping Strong for Life Tasks 🪓

Building strength takes times, it's not an over night fix but with commitment and dedication it's totally achievable.

Here's what one of our regular Active Bone Strong members has to say:👇

"Thanks Steph for making me stronger! Yesterday I moved all three trees that were cut up. They were big and heavy, but before I attended your classes I wouldn't have been able to lift those logs".

Here are tips to keep you strong for life:

💥Prioritise Strength Training: Regular strength training helps maintain muscle mass, bone density, and overall strength as you age. It's time to lift 2-3 times per week for real benefits.

💥Fuel Your Body Right: A balanced diet rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals is key to maintaining strength. Focus on whole foods and eat in season.

💥Stay Active Daily: Consistency is key. Make daily movement a non-negotiable part of your life. Whether it's a brisk walk, yoga session, or cycling, regular activity keeps your body resilient and strong.

💥Find a supportive community: Don’t underestimate the power of friendship and support to keep you consistent.

💥Keep Challenging Yourself: Stay curious and keep challenging your body with new activities. Whether it's trying a new sport, learning a new exercise technique, or setting higher goals, continually pushing your boundaries keeps you physically and mentally strong.

You all know running is my thing and today I got to celebrate global running day with a steady flat run along the best coastal pathways in Australia (I may be slightly biased) 😉

Running helps my mind clear and allows me time to get creative within my business plus it’s also a great way to connect with friends and family.

Running is something you can do anywhere, anytime. It doesn’t matter if you're on holiday or at home; all you need is shoes and some motivation.

If you're looking for some inspiration and fitness rolled in one, lace up your trainers and get out there 👟

By the way, walking is equally as good for you as running and a little kinder on the joints 💚

Drum rolls please...... 🥁
