Well done Cale! 👏👏
When Cale started running during our Healthy Kids group I thought he was going to break the treadmill! He kept putting it faster and faster until his legs were flying! Looks where those legs have taken him! Very exciting for him to reach this marathon goal!

Today (14th of November) we are acknowledging World Diabetes Day.

Did you know research shows that exercise is crucial for individuals with diabetes, as it improves cardiorespiratory fitness, which helps insulin work more effectively.

Exercise physiologists are specially trained to understand the complexities of this condition and can help you to exercise safely with diabetes.

Sharing some of our favourite pics from this weekends swim camp in Newcastle!

"But for me as a parent, my favourite part of the day was watching the kids playing waterpolo and having so much fun. I even had a little cry as I watched [my daughter] carrying around [a younger swimmer] and encouraging him in the game too."

Friendship, Fitness, Fun- That's what it's all about!
