“Good health begins with the right mindset. That’s the one approach that has always remained with me throughout my career. And sure, working hard when training is important, but it’s also vital to never over-train or work yourself beyond your limits – that’s just not healthy.
“While training is a big part of getting fit and maintaining good health, we shouldn’t forget other key essentials such as a good balanced diet, adequate hydration, getting plenty of rest and avoiding stress.
“If you think healthy, you’ll start acting that way and a better, fitter and happier you is suddenly within reach.”
LOCAL GUY
“I love the idea of communities coming together to get fit. It not only benefits our health, it’s also a fantastic way to socialise.
“I’m proud to have worked alongside local communities in Manly to beat the World Record for the Biggest Fitness Circuit – a sensational event we recently held on Manly beach with help from our friends at Bupa, raising much needed funds for the Bear Cottage charity. Watch the video here [insert link]
“We’ve also set a brand new World Record, this time for staging the world’s biggest (and first) resistance band class, and supported Melanoma March along the way. You can see for yourself here [insert link].
“Everyone knows how much I enjoy holding my Guy Leech Paddle Fitness sessions on Sydney Harbour. Last year my paddle community and I got together and held the Kayak for Kids challenge that raised over $200,000 for kids with disabilities. Check out what my paddling buddies
Senator Matt Thistlewaite & Andrew Constance, Minister for Ageing & Disabilities in Australia had to say about the event. [insert link]
