EDITORS NOTETablE Of CONTENTS KERRy KEIghTlEy
Welcome to Motion Magazine, the Sunshine Coasts premier Sports and Dining
publication.
In todays society we are constantly
bombarded by media outlets spruiking
filtered, heavily biased information
and pay to promote style
recommendations. Motion
Magazine steadfastly rejects this current trend; we will discard
mediocrity and provide the Sunshine Coast region with a
publication that has integrity.
Within our pages you will find renowned athletes, celebrities
and chefs. Our expert column writers will keep you informed
of all the latest news in regards to your most loved sports
and the hottest new dining trends. We will introduce you to
our regions best athletes and award winning chefs as well
as providing you with an insight into their high pressure and
demanding worlds. We will take you on a tour through our
regions best dining destinations whilst stopping by our most
well respected providers of sporting equipment, products
and services. Our goal, apart from providing a stellar read, is
to create awareness, to educate and also to inspire. We will
achieve this by allowing you access into the world of some of
the most inspirational individuals on the planet.
A little about myself, my name is Kerry Keightley and I am
the editor of Motion Magazine. I like every one of us, has
faced and overcome adversity in life, from breaking my
vertebrae (spinal C6 and C7) and having to basically learn
how to walk again, to overcoming an auto immune disease
that truly took its best shot of sending me to an early grave.
Through these hard times I turned to the inspirational stories
of others to motivate me, to keep me focused on creating a
positive belief system that one day I would be healthy enough
to be able to walk again. I am hoping that through Motion
Magazine you, the reader, will gain the inspiration needed
to start your own journey along the path towards achieving
your goals and dreams in life. Your dreams may seem simple
like mine were, that is, having the desire to walk again, for
others, their dreams may be more complicated, like wanting
to win a world title. Whatever your dreams are you will only
ever achieve them if you let go of fear, allow yourself to be
inspired and walk the path towards your dreams one step at
a time. Remember to forgive yourself when things go wrong,
appreciate yourself when things go right, and always look for
the positive things in your life. No matter how bad things may
seem there is always something in your life you can be grateful
for, your health, your family, your friends, the place you live,
the weather, the roof over your head or even just the clothes
on your back. As you will find by reading this magazine, many
of the worlds most influential and inspirational people started
with much less than you have today.
So once again welcome to Motion Magazine, please sit
back, make yourself comfortable and come on a sporting,
culinary and inspirational journey with us. Please follow us on

What does the 1982 Commonwealth Games and up-coming 2018 Gold Coast
Games have in common? Silly
question you say, but believe me
the answers will help Queensland
and Australia for many years to
come. Firstly, the event is a great
tradition for countries that make
up the Commonwealth. Secondly,
its being held in Queensland a
State known for hosting great and
successful events. Thirdly, and
most importantly the legacy that
will linger for many years to come.
Having been involved behind
the scenes in 1982, especially
in the lead-up with fundraising,
promotion and marketing, I know
first-hand how Brisbane changed
the attitude of most Aussies and
gave the country some much
needed pride. The day Matilda
winked its way into the hearts
of everyone who sat glued
watching the opening ceremony.
The event also gave State and
National politicians a boost as
well, running off the International
exposure gained by the massive
media coverage. Business
opportunities and confidence
sky-rocketed, and surely played a
role in securing and hosting Expo
1988. Competitors like Robert De
Castella, Kenrick Tucker, Dean
Lukin, Glynis Nunn-Cearns, Robert
Kabbass, Raelene Boyle, Lisa
Kenny and of course the Mean
Machine all playing a golden role in
Australias domination.
That winning culture flowed
over with Australia winning the
Americas Cup, Davis Cup,
Crickets Ashes series, Rugby
Leagues Kangaroo Tour, Greg
Norman started his blitz on
World Golf, Rugbys Grand Slam
4 Nations Tour, Queensland
finally beating New South Wales.
Yes it was the start of a great
era for Australia, brimmed with
confidence on and off the field.
A fact most arent aware of is
the venue for the proposed
QE2 Stadium nearly didnt get
built at Mt Gravatt. In 1976, a
delegation of Sporting officials
were summoned by then mayor
Clem Jones to tour Brisbane and
select the best possible site. After
a day long bus tour, the officials
entered Mr Jones office with their
preference, Marchant Park
near Aspley. The Mayor
quickly poured water on that
option, telling them that
Mt Gravatt/Sunnybank
would be the venue.
Work started and when
built produced a major
up-set in its first big hit-out in
1977. When a skinny sprinter from
Redcliffe Paul Narracott up staged
the 76 Olympic Champion Hasely
Crawford over the 100 metres in a
special meet to launch the facility.
The Stadium and other Games
venues are still in use with most
producing plenty of Champions
since 1982.
The Gold Coast is all guns blazing
with work already started on new
Venues and up-grading of others.
6,700 athletes from 71 Countries
competed in India at the last
Games and who knows how many
will be lured to the Gold Coast.
The Sunshine Coast must start its
campaign to be part of and share
the Games legacy. South East
Queensland will benefit the most
but we will have to set up a plan to
maximise
any or
all opportunities. There were 22
different Sports represented at
the annual Sport Star of the Year
Awards in February. I believe we
will have at least 12 in next years
Glasgow Games, with Sports
ranging from Athletics, Swimming,
Lawn Bowls, Boxing, Netball and
Sevens Rugby. Participation will
be the key as all the 2018 Games
athletes will come from today,
tomorrow and the future. Getting
them interested and involved is the
first step, and the level they reach
will be their decision. That is the
Legacy Im talking about.
Take care, till next time Benny

Writing this column gives me great pleasure as I get the chance to talk about my love of
the ocean and my passion for
our Sunshine Coast beaches. I
do feel fortunate to have landed,
which to me is a dream job, the
position as a lifeguard supervisor
here on the Sunshine Coast. This
position requires me to help plan
and strategize the best ways to
keep the public safe whilst they
indulge in a day at the beach. It
also means that I witness some
amazing events that occur here
on our beaches.
Through my column I will
endeavour to provide you the
reader with an idea of what has
been or will be happening on our
coast beaches, but before we
look forward I would like to take
this opportunity to briefly recap
the events of the Summer just
past.
Our Lifeguard service is made
up of some great characters
ranging from current and former
Nutra-Grain Ironman/Women to
current and former Pro surfers.
On staff are also some individuals
that have been watching over
our beaches for the good part
of two decades. Last summer
having a plethora of beautiful hot
days was our busiest for many
years and it took all of this ocean
expertise and knowledge to keep
our beaches safe. That beautiful
weather however turned feral on
Australia Day with a huge amount
of rain bucketing down, wind
and large seas quickly turned our
beaches into a mess and caused
some serious erosion.
This erosion made it very difficult
for a lot of events such as the
State Surf Life Saving titles,
which were supposed to be at
Maroochydore but were forced to
be held at the Spit on Mooloolaba
Beach, where once again
our coast athletes performed
extremely well and did the
Sunshine Coast proud!
Speaking of Surf Life Saving
events it was also great to see
our local Ironmen/Women do
extremely well in the Nutra-Grain
Series. This series showcased two
of our beautiful beaches, Coolum
and Noosa, and It also gave local
fans the chance to get up close
and personal to their heros and
witness just how fit and skilful
these guys and girls really are.
The Sunshine Coasts Surf
Lifesaving scene is going from
strength to strength and I am
confident we will have state,
national as well as ironman and
women champions come from our
region for many years to come.
Talking about all things in regards
to the ocean our local surfing
scene seems to be also be going
from strength to strength. I have
noticed just how many grommets
and young crew are becoming
involved in our boardriding clubs
and I am positive it wont be long
until we see our next Julian Wilson
emerge onto surfings biggest
stage!!
Looking forward, we are starting
to head into the colder months
but please keep taking care on
our beaches and remember to
swim between the Red and Yellow
Flags. Lastly, go say hello to your
local Lifeguards and get to know
them!!

Welcome to the inaugural update from the Falcons Nest, the home of Local Rugby
League and Footy 4 Families
on the Sunshine Coast. We look
forward to the opportunity of
keeping you informed on all things
local footy, but before we talk
about the current it is important to
reflect briefly on the past.
Rugby League was born on
the Sunshine Coast on Monday
the 8th of March 1920, when
at a North Coast Rugby Union
meeting held at the Club Hotel in
Nambour it was decided by some
to adopt the new game, and so
Rugby League in this area was
born. The clubs were made up
primarily of players and volunteers
from hard working farming, fishing
and logging families. In those
days families would happily load
up the truck or horse and buggy
for a 3 hour, twenty kilometre trip
to the Footy for an away game
and some social interaction
between local communities.
As you can see Rugby League
on the Sunshine Coast has been
integral to the community spirit
and social culture that makes life
on the Sunny Coast what it is
today. From its humble beginning
early last century, and through
generations since, families have
gathered on the grassy hills of
their local parks to watch their
local legends play this great
game. For many decades it was
picnic blankets, with mums
homemade treats on offer, and
kids kicking the footy around
while their local heros gave their
all.
93 Years on and the League is
stronger than ever. There are 16
senior clubs and 13 junior clubs
spanning from Caboolture in the
South to Gympie in the North and
out to Kilcoy in the West. In fact,
our Junior League has grown to
be the second largest
junior competition in QLD.
In 2013, the world we live
in barely resembles the one
inhabited by those in
attendance at the Club
Hotel all those years
ago. Progress has
led to regression for some
of the basic foundations
of life and family that once
were a given. Our cars may be
faster, communication has taken
a vastly different and ever evolving
direction, and our footy paddocks
have become maintained fields.
Mums and Dads are working
more hours, technology is
stealing active outdoor time
from our kids, and consequently
quality family time and community
participation has become a
casualty for many.
There is one thing however that
hasnt changed. Footy is still for
Families!!
It is acknowledged that the
brakes cant be easily applied to
the furious wheels of progress,
just as they cant be to our desire
of ensuring that community based
sport will positively contribute to
the foundation of social fabric for
those that follow us.
So do your family a favour. Dust
off the picnic blanket, (or borrow
your mums), and get along to
a local Rugby League game in
2013. Its a family tradition !!!

Welcome to my first edition of, Tri Tales. My hope is to keep you all informed on the latest
happenings in the world of triathlon
on the Sunshine Coast. I am
originally from Sydney, NSW, but
moved up here ten years ago with
my husband to pursue my career
as a professional athlete.
Why Noosa? Well I had been
up here several times to race
the iconic Noosa Triathlon, so
I knew the weather was perfect
for my outdoor job. It also has
an amazing road network and
the riding possibilities are endless
- from the coastal roads to the
beautiful hinterland. The best part
though is that many of these roads
have dedicated bike lanes.Peak
hour, as we know it in the big
cities, really does not exist here.
There are plenty of great outdoor
swimming pools and of course
the ocean gives you one endless
pool. By far one of my favourite
places is the Noosa National Park
where I can be known to disappear
running for hours.
I have seen the Sunshine Coast
really evolve as a triathlon training
mecca over the years. Triathletes
from around Australia and
overseas have been coming here
in droves and setting themselves
up for the summer and now the
winter as, lets face it, the Sunshine
Coast really does not have a winter
if you compare it to the bitterly cold
winters of Europe or the United
States. The sport of triathlon is
not just about swimming, biking
and running, it is about pursuing
a lifestyle that emphasises healthy
living.
We have so many amazing
triathletes, including past and
present World Champions,
Olympians, gold medalists who
base themselves here for a good
chunk of the year. Greg and Laura
Bennett have been coming here
for just on thirteen years now.
Pete Jacobs (the current World
Hawaiian Ironman Champion)
and his wife moved up here last
summer. Emma Snowsill and
her partner Jan Frodeno (both
gold medallists from the Beijing
Olympics) recently purchased a
house here. Javier Gomez, from
Spain (the current leader of the
ITU World Triathlon Series and
winner of this years Mooloolaba
triathlon) has been coming here
for years now to prepare for his
race season. Even the Brownlee
brothers from Great Britain (Gold
and bronze medallists from the
London Olympics) have spent
some time here in Noosa. We
also have David Dellow (winner of
Noosa triathlon in 2011) and his
partner Caroline Steffen (former
World Long Course Champion and
regular top 3 at the Ironman World
Champs) living just down the road
at Alexandra Headland.
What attracts these athletes?
The answer is obvious. The great
climate, the wonderful lifestyle
and the simplicity of living here on
the Sunshine Coast. The training
conditions are perfect; the food is
local, fresh and healthy and there is
such a great network of athletes to
train with. There are also so many
great events all year around like the
Noosa Winter Multisports Festival,
the Noosa Triathlon Festival,
Mooloolaba Triathlon, Mooloolaba
Ironman 70.3, Sunshine Coast
Running Series, Sunshine Coast
Marathon, Ocean Swim series ...
the list is endless these days.
When Justin and I first moved
up here, it only took a short time
before it became quite apparent
that we would never be moving
back to Sydney, and that Noosa
was now home. The lifestyle here
just cannot be beaten and you
dont have to be a professional
athlete to appreciate this. Justin
and I travel the world for a living
but the Sunshine Coast will always
be home for us.
In coming articles I will let you
know all of my favourite training
haunts, here on the coast, for
swimming, biking and running. Of
course, as with any athlete, food
and coffee are an integral part of
an athletes day, so I will also be
filling you in on all of my favourite
coffee spots up and down the
coast, and where we refuel for
breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Enjoy! Belinda

Ultra marathon runners are a breed on to their own, some may call them crazy, I prefer to
call them simply inspirational.
Recently, I caught up with one
of the Sunshine Coasts best
Ultra-Marathon runners Greg
Swan and gained some insights
into what makes these masters of
endurance running tick.
Greg after having a successful
running career in his teens,
turned away from his beloved
sport during most his early adult
years My injuries, mainly stress
fractures, eventually took their toll,
I basically didnt run from my early
twenties to early thirties. When I
turned 33 I was close to 25 kilos
overweight, one day I made a
promise to myself to turn my life
around, I simply decided to lose
weight and run the Gold Coast
Marathon, since then I have run
close to 50 marathons/ultras.
Gregs ultramarthion career has
taken him around the globe;
in fact, Greg has endured the
gruelling conditions put forth from
one of the most uninhabitable
continents on the globe, the
Antarctic. I had read about the
7 continents club and noticed no
Australian male had completed
Ultras in all continents and decided
that was my goal. The Antarctic
is somewhere you just wouldnt
normally go, yet it is so amazing, it
was like stepping onto the moon
when we first stepped off the
plane.
It amazes me that the human
body can withstand such extreme
conditions, and when asked what
training he did to prepare himself
for this torturous endeavour, Greg
nonchantly replied Some soft
sand running helps to toughen
the legs like running through snow
and I also tried an altitude training
machine.
Greg then described to me his
weekly training schedule, and to
be honest even just hearing the
kilometres he travels in a week
made me exhausted Usually I do
around 100 to 150kms a week
depending on my long run during
the week as well as pool running,
core strength, speed work and
hills.
Endurance athletes have to be
extremely mentally tough and
when I asked Greg what career
moment he holds closest to
his heart, his answer was very
indicative of this fact I ran the Las
Vegas marathon the week before
Antarctica and severely tore my
right calf muscle at 10k. At that
stage anything faster than walking
was too painful, yet I have never
not finished a race so I strapped
a bag on ice to my calf at the 32k
mark, and I pushed on as hard as
I could through the pain. I finished
the race in 3hr 59min 13secs
and struggled to hold back the
emotions in the last kilometre.
Greg will be heading off soon
to compete in the Great Wall of
China Marathon in May, before
racing 650km across the Simpson
Desert in September. Next year
Greg will be again racing over
240kms through the Sahara
Desert in Egypt. I dont think I will
ever completely know what goes
on inside the head of an ultra-
marathon runner but one thing
I know for sure, the word cant
does not exist in their vocabulary.

What makes a great personal trainer? After a long winded and heated debate with my
work colleagues we came to the
following conclusion, the most
important element a personal
trainer can have is that he or she
must sincerely care about who
they are training and genuinely
care about helping them achieve
their goals. We are all different,
we all need different forms of
motivation and training, the only
way a personal trainer can tailor
make suitable sessions is if they
genuinely care.
One such personal trainer that
embodies the above statement
is 25 year old Steven Page. Now
keep in mind Steven himself has
recently undergone three lifesaving
major surgeries for abdominal
issues, yet this hasnt stopped
him doing what he loves and that
is helping individuals with special
needs lead a healthier and fuller
life.
I am currently at university and
am working as a teachers aid
for special needs kids. I get so
much more of a rewarding feeling
working with special needs
individuals as you really see the
enjoyment on their face, you are
changing their lives forever.
Pagey is also currently training
Andrew, who was born with
down syndrome and according
to pagey is starting to kick some
major health and fitness goals
It has been all about Trust,
Andrew wouldnt really speak
or communicate with anyone
when he started, there is no easy
fix when it comes to earning
trust it simply takes time and
perseverance. I try not to ever
miss a session and I never let
anyone take my session with
Andrew when I am not there. I
want him to respect me and that
means me not putting him in
any situation where he may feel
uncomfortable.
Pagey tailor makes his sessions
to fit in with Andrews needs It
is essential to tailor make every
session no matter who your
training. The main thing with
Andrew is that instead of sitting
on a treadmill or something like
that we make up games together,
basically I just need to make it fun
for Andrew.
Andrew who when he first came to
Pagey couldnt run for longer than
a couple of minutes can now blast
out a good half hour session on
the cross-trainer, he is more open
and you can often find him shaking
hands and saying hello to other
regulars at the gym. Andrews
family have stated he is happier
and gets quite upset if he has to
miss even just one session. Pagey
even stated that Andrew is now
enjoying his other passion in life
more than ever, that is, competitive
ten pin bowling.
Pagey is a stellar example of
what does make a great personal
trainer. He genuinely cares, he
tailor makes his sessions, he is
supportive, caring and fosters a
spirit of fun and enjoyment into his
workouts. So if you are looking for
a personal trainer, my advice to
you is, get to know the personal
trainer your thinking of using, if
he seems to care about you like
pagey cares about his clients, you
have found a PT that will help you
achieve your goals and change
your life forever. Contact Pagey on:

As kids, my best mate Dave and I rode our bikes everywhere to school, the
local pool, the park, the shops,
you name it. Our favourite ride
however was simply around the
block, approximately 500m with
4 right hand turns; the trick of
course was to ride this no hands.
The first time I pulled it off was
on a 3 speed with cowhorn
handlebars, I thought I was Evil
Knievel. As I rounded the final
corner, looked back at Dave
and pumped my fist in the air
I assumed it was simply sour
grapes that he hadnt joined
in my celebration, in fact he
looked downright distressed, and
momentarily I found out why
as I ran straight up the back of a
parked car.
I spent that evening in hospital;
my bike went to the big scrap
heap in the sky and my parents,
some weeks later, after giving
me a huge dressing down and
docking my pocket money to pay
for damage to the car, bought
me my first racing bike 5 gears,
drop handlebars, about 2 sizes
too big, I could barely touch the
pedals.
Back then no one had heard of a
bike fit, if you could straddle the
top tube and reach the pedals
with bottom planted on saddle
the bike was considered the right
size and off you went. Today
bike fitting has become a science
the Retul 3D Motion Capture
System thats used by many of
the worlds best triathletes and
professional cycling teams actually
reads the body in motion, in three
dimensions whilst you ride your
bike. The data set thats gathered
(knee angle flexion & extension,
back angle, knee forward of foot,
etc) allows the fitter to make very
specific changes to the bike which
can increase power, minimize the
risk of injury and greatly improve
rider comfort and performance.
Bicycles come in many different
sizes, usually when being sized
for a bike in a shop, staff will
talk in terms of frame size as
measured along the top tube
52cm, 54cm, 56cm, etc, however
not all frames are built even. For
example, the stack (558mm)
and reach(395mm) of a 56cm
Cannondale SuperSix varies quite
significantly from a the stack
(589mm) and reach (387mm)
of a Specialized Roubaix. If the
stack of the bike is too deep youll
have a very hard time getting low
and aerodynamic important
for anyone whos serious about
their riding, critical for triathletes
where an overly high back angle
means that youll have to generate
additional power to overcome
aerodynamic drag and stay close
to your competition not good
when you then have to dismount
and run.
Professional bike fitting using the
Retul system has been available
on the Sunshine Coast for almost
a year. Custom Bike Fit is located

Welcome to the first edition of On Par with Peter Heiniger. Born and bred on the
Sunshine Coast, my passion for
the game of golf began from my
junior days at Nambour Golf Club.
I completed my PGA traineeship
at Keperra Golf Club in Brisbane
and later went on to be Head
Teaching Professional at the Hyatt
Coolum for 23 years, before
accepting my current position
as Teaching Professional at the
renowned Noosa Springs Golf and
Spa Resort. I hope you enjoy my
column.
Really, we have it all here on
the Sunshine Coast! Fantastic
beaches, restaurants and beautiful
weather. As locals we are spoilt
for choice - not to forget the golf
courses. The Sunshine Coast is
paradise for those looking for a
game as tourists are quite rightly
now starting to realise. Boasting
over a dozen 18 hole courses
and several par 3 courses, the
Sunshine Coast sets the standard
for all to follow. Kept in impeccable
condition all year round, each
course is distinctive in its own way
and will offer every standard of
golfer with their very own individual
challenge. Although indifferent
of late, the Tropical Queensland
climate provides ideal weather
12 months of the year, allowing
players to take advantage of what
the Sunshine Coast has to offer.
Impressive practice facilities are
a regular feature at most layouts
and driving ranges are welcome
inclusions. The level of coaching
available for those looking to
further enhance their game is
first class, with several award
winning and highly accredited
teaching professionals available
throughout the Sunshine Coast
at very affordable fees. As a result
the Sunshine Coast has nurtured
many successful golfers such
as 1992 British Open Champion
Ian Baker-Finch, LPGA Tour Star
Katherine Hull-Kirk, current US
PGA Tour player Steven Bowditch
and even Adam Scott who was
once a junior member of Twin
Waters Golf Club. The Sunshine
Coast very own Invincibles Junior
Golf tour as founded by President
Graeme Miller, paves the way for
our next wave of child prodigys.
The Tour provides them with the
experience of competition golf on
local Sunshine Coast courses.
The assortment of courses at
our disposal provides differing
standards to ideally suit the varying
standards of golfers. If it is an
enjoyable, not overly challenging
game that you are after,
recognised club courses such as
Horton Park, Headland, Nambour,
Beerwah and Tewantin - Noosa
come highly recommended at very
affordable prices. However, if you
are after a true test for your game
and price is not a concern, Noosa
Springs, Twin Waters, Pelican
Waters and Palmer Coolum should
be included on your bucket list.
Not only championship courses,
each provide accompanying luxury
accommodation and as such the
ideal location for a great golfing
getaway! If you havent so already,
come and test your game at
Queenslands golfing mecca the
Sunshine Coast and experience
for yourself what all the hype is
about.

The Noosa Yacht & Rowing Clubs Youthsail journey has seen a small river sailing program
for local kids grow from a modest
boatshed based weekend activity
into the largest Youth Sailing
program in the country. In fact, after
doing some research, I ascertained
that the program has enjoyed
around a 1000% increase in
participation numbers since 2005.
Many sporting codes have suffered
over the years, with the new
generation of young Australians
becoming obsessed with some
form or another of electronic
device. So how did Noosa, one of
the smaller clubs in Queensland
gain such growth?
I became involved in Youthsail
around 10 years ago when I
booked my then 10 year old
daughter into Learn to Sail classes
to give her the opportunity of
playing around boats just like I did
as a kid growing up in Sydneys
Pittwater. At this time Yachting
Australia was racing down the
High Performance Olympic Feeder
avenue with many of the larger and
wealthier Yacht & Sailing club youth
programs following suit. Noticing
that many of the kids that attended
the Noosa Yacht and Rowing
programs were there for the social
side of Sailing we designed an
alternative program far left of field
to what Yachting Australia was
focused on.
Youthsail designed a pathway
where the kids enjoyed the
sport of sailing without the usual
expense and stress on time
poor parents. We offered training
courses that qualified them as
Trainee Instructors, YA Assistant
Instructors, Safety Boat drivers and
later the School Based Traineeship
program that, with approval from
the Department of Education and
Training, allowed Year 10 and 11
school students to complete a Cert
II or Cert III in a Sport & Recreation
/ Sailing Coaching course whilst at
school. The encouraging part of this
approach was that kids remained
in the sport and many, after a few
years working in the program, got
the competitive urge, purchased
boats and began racing as part of
the Team Noosa Sailing Squad.
The Youthsail Program is now all
encompassing with a vast variety of
curriculums and pathways. There
are a number of courses both in
School Holidays and the School
Term starting with the little kids first
sailing experience in the YA National
Tackers Program for the 6-12 year
olds. Kids can then migrate to the
YA Start Sailing levels using club
owned Vagabond 2 sail training
dinghys and then progress to the
Start Racing and Better Racing
programs in both the Sabot (8 foot
entry level single sail dinghy) and
Laser (Olympic class single handed
dinghy) squads. Other programs
include The Disabled Access
program and the Youth Blazer 23
Development squad where young
sailors get the chance to race
amongst the senior club members.
This year Youthsail will complete
around 14000 lessons and is still
growing its not rocket science,
its sailing.

For your chance to WIN an ultimate learn to surf, surf groms pack!
VALUED AT $250! Ages 5 to 12.
In todays society, where media outlets bombard us with tales of destruction, decay and immorality,
it is refreshing to come across a
story that portrays the human spirit
in all its beauty and glory, one such
story is that of professional surfer
Bethany Hamilton.
October 31st, 2003, started
out like most other days for 13
year old Bethany Hamilton, as
along with her best friend Alana
Blanchard as well as Alanas
father and brother they headed
over to Tunnel Beach, Kauai for
their early morning surf session.
However, at around 7.30am on
this fateful day, Bethanys day
became far from normal when a
15 foot tiger shark attacked her,
severing her arm just below the
shoulder. The Blanchards helped
Bethany to shore where Alanas
father fashioned a tourniquet out
of a surfboard leash and wrapped
it around the stump of her arm,
before she was rushed to Wilcox
Memorial Hospital. By the time she
arrived at the hospital Bethany had
already lost over sixty percent of
her blood.
After spending seven days in
recovery at the hospital, Bethany
made it clear to everyone that
she was determined to return
to surfing. Less than one month
after the incident, this brave,
courageous and determined
young girl returned to her board.
Initially, she longboarded but
quickly moved to shorter boards
and adopted a custom-made
handle to make duck diving easier,
she adapted her paddling style
by adding kicking, adjusted her
hand positioning while standing
up on the board, and after figuring
out how to surf on a shortboard
with one arm, on January 10,
2004, she entered a major surfing
competition.
The unassuming Bethany, when
questioned about how she
managed to overcome such a
horrific accident and return
to her beloved
sport of surfing
replied I
know this
may sound
crazy but I knew God
was in control and
that he had a plan for
my life, this brought
me an overwhelming
sense of peace.
I knew God would turn something
so disastrous into something
beautiful. There were some hard

and frustrating times but I just kept
focusing on the positives like the
fact that I am still alive.
The physical injuries that Bethany
had to overcome were nothing
short of what most would call
insurmountable, however, Bethany
explained that When I was
younger it was easier to adapt, as
I grew older and became a woman
the training necessary to keep my
alignment correct became very
demanding. I loved the fact that
it challenged me, I found fun in
the process of taking care of my
body.
Bethany wrote about her
experience in the 2004
autobiography Soul Surfer: A True
Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting
to Get Back on the Board. In
April 2011, the feature film Soul
Surfer was released based on the
book and additional interviews.
Soul Surfer received critically
acclaim and quickly became an
international blockbuster movie.
I found making the film fun and
challenging, I helped cast Anna
Sophia Robb, the actress who
played me and I did all the one-
arm surfing stunts myself
I asked Bethany how it felt to
know that she has inspired and
changed the lives of millions of
people around the globe, and
once again the very humble
Bethany replied I dont invest too
much time considering the impact
I have on the world, I just try and
be the best person I can be. I am
a simple person and love living the
simple life
Bethany may enjoy leading the
simple life, but her achievements
since the attack are well far from
simple, they are breathtaking and
that of legend and folklore. Against
all the odds Bethanys surfing
career kicked major goals, winning
NSSA National Competitions,
Junior Pro Competitions, placing
5th at the US Open of Surfing
and 2nd in the Billabong ASP
World Junior Championship.
Furthermore, Bethany tackled
what is regarded as one of, if not
the heaviest wave in world, Banzai
Pipeline, placing 4th in the 2007
Womens Pipeline Championship.
Banzai Pipeline is a treacherous
and deadly break, in fact, more
people have died or been seriously
injured at pipeline than at any
other break on the planet.
The fact that Bethany managed to
achieve all these stellar results with
one arm, in extreme conditions,
competing against other full
bodied athletes, is an achievement
that in my opinion rates Bethany
Hamilton as one of the best
athletes ever to walk the earth.
I am obviously not the only
person that stands in awe of
this remarkable human being as
since the attack, Bethany has
also been a guest on numerous
television shows, including The
Biggest Loser, 20/20, Good
Morning America, Inside Edition,
The Oprah Winfrey Show, The
Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today
Show and The Tonight Show, as
well as featuring in magazines,
such as, People, Time and
American Girl. Additionally, she
was the cover story in the premier
issue of niNe magazine. In 2004,
she won the ESPY Award for
Best Comeback Athlete and also
received the Courage Teen Choice
Award.
It seems Bethany is always on the
lookout for new challenges as she
is about to become an off road
racer and embark on the torturous
all female Rallys Aicha Des
Gazelles, considered as one of the
toughest female sporting events in
the world It was a little daunting
thinking about it at first but I have
always wanted to go to Morocco
and it will help raise money for the
charity of my choice, I am looking
forward to the challenge and am
really excited to be a part of the
rally.
Bethany runs a charity called
Friends of Bethany which is a
non for profit organisation that,
as Bethany puts it We assist
amputees and other shark attack
victims by sharing the hope and
love of Jesus Christ, we provide
encouragement packs, helpful
information and connect them
with relevant organisations and
companies. We do our best to
inspire people and to help them
with their self-esteem.
I know the humble and
unassuming Bethany would be
uncomfortable with me saying that
she is my Hero, but I am struggling
to find another term that embodies
who this amazing, inspiring and
caring individual is and that can
also encapsulate the beauty and
the light she brings to this world.
I know this may sound crazy but I knew god was in control and that he had a plan for my life

Against all experts opinions, against all odds, Dick Hoyt refused to take no for an answer,
he refused to listen to so called
expert opinion, and why should
he, that is his son that they are
wanting to condemn to a life in
institutions. Dick Hoyt showed the
world that with belief, faith and
most importantly love, you can
overcome any adversity life may
throw at you.
Rick Hoyt was born in 1962,
diagnosed as a spastic
quadriplegic with cerebral palsy
due to oxygen deprivation.
Immediately experts told Dick
and Judy Hoyt, Ricks Parents, to
institutionalise Rick as there was
no chance of him recovering or
ever being able to lead a normal
life. Dick and Judy Hoyt however
had other plans.
Dick Hoyt recognised almost
immediately that his sons eyes
would follow him as he moved
about the room; he knew that
regardless of Ricks physical
limitations inside he was
astute and alert. Dick pushed
administrators and fought tirelessly
to integrate Rick into the public
schooling system. Dick and Judy
would take their son sledding and
swimming, they even taught him
the alphabet and basic words,
like any other child. Dick Hoyt
through tireless perseverance
and commitment soon provided
concrete evidence to those so
called experts of Ricks intellect
and ability to learn like everyone
else.
Rick had always showed great
compassion for others, in fact,
in the spring of 1977 Rick told
his father that he wanted to
participate in a 5-mile benefit
run for a local Lacrosse player
who had been paralysed in an
accident; little did they know that
on this day their lives were going
to change forever. Dick agreed to
push Rick in his wheelchair, and
they finished all 5 miles, coming in
next to last. That night, Rick told
his father, Dad, when Im running,
it feels like Im not handicapped.
After seeing the joy in his sons
eyes, that sense of freedom of
truly feeling normal for the first
time his life, Dick knew what
he had to do. Over the ensuing
years Dick and Rick would
complete over 1,090 athletic
events, including, 70 Marathons,
30 Boston Marathons and 252
Triathlons, 6 of which were
Ironman distance. Dick and Rick
even biked and ran across the U.S
in 1992 completing a full 3,735
miles in 45 days.
How does someone who cant
walk or even stand for that
matter complete a Triathlon you
ask? Once again love knows no
boundaries and Ricks dad found
a way to make it happen. In the
swim leg Dick would tow his son
behind him in dingy, Dick made
a special two seater bike so Rick
could do the bike leg with him and
in the run leg Dick would push his
son in a custom made running
wheel chair.
2012 saw Dick now aged 72 and
his son Rick now 50 compete in
their 30th Boston Marathon, and
they have no plans of slowing
down just yet. Rick Hoyt was once
asked if there was anything in the
world he could do what would it
be, he replied The thing Id most
like is for my dad to sit in the chair
and I would push him for once.

ASK ABOUT OUR STUDENT & PENSIONER RATES!
This story basically mirrors the Hoyts, but revolves around an ambitious elementary school
athlete, Conner Green aged
7, who wants to complete a
triathlon with his younger brother
Cayden. A normal request for a
young active kid some might say,
however, Cayden Long aged 5
has cerebral palsy and cant talk
or walk.
Conner always had a dream of a
playing outside and riding bikes
with his brother, and after being
shown a kids triathlon page in
a local magazine by his mother,
Conner realised that this was his
opportunity to make his dreams
become a reality.
Conner was committed to his
path, and with ingenuity and
creativity Conner created a system
so his younger brother, could go
with him every step of the way,
from his first stroke in the water
to the final few feet of his run.
For the swim leg Conner built a
special harness which allows him
to tow his younger brother behind
in an inflatable raft, for the bike
leg Conner also designed a small
cart so he can again tow Cayden
along behind him and lastly for the
run leg Connor recruited a simple
stroller to push Cayden in.
On one faithful June day in 2011,
Conner and Caydens lives were
changed forever when they
participated in their first Triathlon
together. Since that momentous
day in 2011, the brothers have
now competed in more than
a dozen triathlons. This deep
brotherly love and commitment
to their cause cannot be broken,
if event organisers ever show
concerns over accommodating
the pairs special equipment,
Conner simply refuses to compete
alone.
Even though Cayden cant speak
or walk, Connor told ESPN he
knows when his brother is having
a good time because he can
see him smiling and laughing,
something that has happened
numerous times since the duo
began trialthloning together. The
boys mother said she thinks the
events have changed her younger
son for the better in a more lasting
way, too. I know its changed
him, Jenny Long told ESPN.
With the help of his brother, hes
found something he can do.
Recently brothers Conner Green
and Cayden Long of White House,
TN were awarded the 2012
Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids
of the Year.
The spirit that Conner and
Cayden show every day, and in
every race, is in perfect keeping
with what we look for in our
annual SportsKid of the Year
search, said SI Kids Managing
Editor and Publisher Bob Der.
They are true examples of the
good that can be accomplished
through sports and we are proud
to honour them.
While the two have never won
a race, Connor and Cayden
have inspired all those that have
crossed their paths and have
shown all families with special
needs children that anyone can do
anything with the support and love
of each other!

Club Kawana prides itself as being a safe place for patrons
When we go looking for inspiration in our lives, many of us begin to think of far-
away places, elite athletes and
humanitarians that have helped
changed society. I am here to
inform you that there is no need
to look towards the podiums of
greatness and on most occasions
we need only to open our eyes
and our hearts the people we
pass going about our daily lives to
be inspired.
This lesson was again reinforced
to me last week when I visited
Caloundra Goodlife Health Club
and met Michael Wright. Michael
explained to me that when he
turned 41 he was your typical
Aussie guy, a glazier by trade who
loved his footy, V8 Supercars and
of course a few beers with the
boys. Michael was however far
from average weight for his height,
in fact Michael was weighing in at
117kgs At that stage I just wasnt
watching what I ate, wasnt
training or playing any sport
Michael stated.
The Michael I was looking at
seemed a far cry from the 25
kilo plus overweight person that
was just described to me, so I
enquired how the transformation
came about I was actually
lucky that my partner at the time
became involved with Goodlife
Health Clubs and introduced
me to their 12 week challenge.
I ended up losing 18kgs in 12
weeks
So what is the 12 week challenge
and why does it produce such
great results? For me getting
to the gym in the first place was
the hardest part. The 12 week
challenge allows you access
to personal trainers, nutritional
seminars and weekend boot
camps. You meet maybe 30 other
individuals that are in the same
situation in life as you are. Having
a training buddy or personal
trainer at the gym keeps your
motivation up to get there in the
first place.
Michael also stated that The 12
week challenge also comes with
incentives for you to reach your
goals. You can actually win money
if you end up a club, state or
national winner of the competition
Michaels health and fitness
journey did not end there; Michael
took part in the Goodlife Health
Clubs AIPT course to become
a personal trainer. Fast forward
to today Michael has now lost
25 kilos and is a fully accredited
personal trainer who works
out of the Goodlife Health Club
Caloundra.
Having done the hard yards
himself I was interested to find
out what training philosophies
Michael passes on to his clients
I tell my clients to enjoy the
journey, get to know others at the
gym, make friends and immerse
yourself in the health and fitness
environment. As a trainer I make
sure I get to know all my clients
on a personal level and I actually
truly care about them. The clients
see that I care and it motivates
them. It is always an uplifting
feeling when you realise someone
actually does care about you.

Recently, I had the pleasure of chatting with Para Olympian Rick Pendleton, who I feel is one
of the most genuine, passionate
and inspirational individuals I have
ever met. Rick was born with one
hand, however, this has never
stopped him achieving anything
in life, in fact, Rick informed me
that When you are born with a
disability you dont see things as
barriers, you just learn to adapt
without too much trouble
Ricks can do attitude was obvious
at an early age as he became a
keen football player and a surf
lifesaving nipper. This love of the
ocean, combined with a little
push in the right direction from his
mother, soon saw Rick take up
swimming My swimming career
started around that transitional
time between primary and high
school, my mum actually entered
me in my first swimming carnival
and I broke the state record. Not
long after that the 2000 Sydney
Olympics hit town and I just went
wow I want to do that.
Rick did more than just make it
to the Olympics, throughout his
career he has smashed world
records and has taken home 5
Para Olympic gold medals. I asked
Rick what is left on his sporting to
do list I am currently in training for
the Worlds in Montreal later this
year. I dont really have any long
term goals I just take every day
as it comes. As long as I still have
the passion and the drive to keep
swimming I will.
Rick has been there and done
that, along the way conquering
more barriers than most, so I
asked what advice he could pass
on to other young kids with a
disability When I hit high school
I became very aware of my
differences. Sport allowed me to
focus on something other than
my differences, all I can say is that
if any sport interests you have
a crack at it as you never know
where that sport may take you.
Rick also believes that to be a
successful athlete you must dream
big I always had big goals, I
wanted gold medals and I wanted
to smash world records. Back
than I would never have mentioned
my goals to anyone but they were
always on my mind
I asked Rick what has been
his most memorable sporting
achievement The Gold Medal
at the Beijing Olympics, I just
missed out on a medal four years
previously at Athens by .07 of a
second, after that I set myself a
target, worked hard for four years
and then achieved that target
Rick who has been the recipient
of the prestigious OAM, Medal of
the Order of Australia, for his 2008
gold medals has only recently
taken on a coaching position at
Matthew Flinders as the head
coach for the Flinders Swimming
Club. This is a great opportunity
for any inspiring swimmers to learn
from a true champion.
I will leave you with Ricks motto,
the one he kept telling himself
between the Athens and Beijing
Olympics; maybe it can help you
stay on the path to your dreams.
Pain only lasts for a minute where
failure can last for a lifetime

Neville Kratzman is an Australian representative cricket player that can be found nearly every
weekend mixing it up out on the
pitch with the best teenagers in our
region, not a bad accomplishment
considering he turns 70 years
young this August.
When questioned how he keeps
competing at such a high level,
Nevilles answer is simple It is all in
your mind, I am a hundred percent
certain it is all about keeping a
positive outlook
Neville has been a stalwart in
regional, state and national teams
for decades now and shows no
signs of slowing up I turn 70 soon
so I am the oldest in the over 60s
Australian team. I have been asked
to captain the over 70s Australian
team, but I am still really competitive
in the over 60s so I think I will stay
in this division and move into the
over 70s with the teammates I have
now.
Neville has had his fair share of
setbacks, In 2007 Neville was
diagnosed with prostate cancer
and although he is still undergoing
treatment Neville has fought his
illness with stellar results and
continues to work on his farm as
well as representing Australia for
cricket. A few years ago Neville
also smashed his knee cap during
a cricket match which saw him
rushed to hospital and undergo
basically a full knee reconstruction.
Neither of the above two setbacks
has slowed this true blue Aussie
battler down I definitely never feel
sorry for myself, I am and always
will be committed to playing cricket
whenever and wherever I can. I
just keep reminding myself of all
the positive things in my life. You
just have to get out there and give
things a go; it is amazing what
you can achieve when you whole
heartily give things a shot.
The social side that cricket offers
is also a very important element
in Nevilles life I have met some
amazing people that I would not
have met if I didnt play cricket;
some of them have become my
best friends.
Neville does play B grade local
cricket which sees him come up
against teenagers It is a good
thing; I am the oldest out there
so I can teach them things about
sportsmanship and how to play
the game, being around younger
people keeps me feeling younger
as well.
Neville has been there and done
that and could teach any athlete
a thing or two about what it takes
to become successful at their
chosen sport. Dream big, its the
ones with the biggest
dreams that will
do the hard
yards
and
do
the work when others wont.
You dont get more true blue than
Neville Kratzman, a local stock
farmer that still works the land, an
Australian cricket representative
and a damn good bloke. If there
was any parting words I could
leave you with that I took out of
my conversation with Neville is that
make sure you dream big in life and
love what you do!!
We are a team of exercise physiologists passionate about inspiring healthy life
choices to create a ripple effect of
positive change in our Sunshine
Coast community. Kaizen is a
Japanese philosophy of continual
improvement. Its all about doing
the small things consistently
getting better with small steps.
Thats the approach we take with
our business, ourselves, and with
our clients.
We are fortunate to work with
some amazing people and be
involved in their life changing
results. From diabetics who no
longer need their medication,
people in pain who can now move
more freely, rock bands, CEOs,
junior athletes and even 91 year
olds wanting to improve their
ten pin bowling score! Whilst we
have so many inspiring stories
we wanted to congratulate a
well-known Sunshine Coaster, Roy
Henzell on his 60th birthday and
share with you how he has turned
his health around.
Ten years ago Roy celebrated his
50th birthday. While the party was
great, the after party wasnt such
a success. On the night of his
50th birthday Roy was rushed to
hospital with a serious heart attack.
In fact he almost didnt make it into
his 50s. Years of high work stress,
a hip replacement, a family history
of heart disease, and an inactive
lifestyle almost cut his life short.
Roy made a decision that he
wanted to be alive for his family
and see his kids grow up. He
was sick of being tired and feeling
uncomfortable with his shape and
fitness.
Roy started off slowly (the Kaizen
approach) and we developed a
programme to build up his health
momentum along the way. He
now works out three times a week
at Kaizen Exercise Physiologists
doing a variety of exercises
to maintain his hips, keep his
cardiovascular system in top
shape, and pumping iron. In Roys
60s youre more likely to find him
out on the golf course, walking his
dog, or cycling on his racing bike
rather than eating fast food, sitting
in an office all week, or in bars.
In fact Roy put himself on a self-
imposed 3 month alcohol ban this
year leading up to his 60th. He is
fitter, trimmer, moves better, eats
better, has another daughter, and
most importantly is not in hospital
having a heart attack like he did on
his 50th Birthday.
Not only has his own health
improved but were proud that
hes helped us with our mission to
create a ripple of positive health by
bringing his family along to Kaizen.
While Roys chronological age
may have increased 10 years, his
biological age has reversed - yours
can too. Contact Kaizen on:

strength and stretching session
at Matthew Flinders Gym.
What or who inspires you: Tiger
Woods is an inspirational golfer
because he refuses to lose; and
Rory McIlroy because he achieved
so much at a young age.
Golf, along with many sports,
requires rapid, rotational
acceleration (torque) of one
or more limbs of the body. To
produce the required force to drive
a ball onto the green, the bodys
joints must work in sequential,
segmental coordination. Due to the
repetitive nature of golf, overuse
injuries, particularly the knees,
lower back, shoulders and elbows
are common. The recent shift in
the field of Strength & Conditioning
has been to train the body as
one, functional unit; thereby,
training movement patterns (motor
control) and the movement of a
joint (functional movement) as a
way of not only decreasing the
risk for injury, but also enhancing
performance. Functional
movement training systems (FMS)
aim to not only rehabilitate such
injuries but, when implemented
correctly, can reduce the risk of
such injuries occurring. FMS
focuses on training the movement
of the body and its joints, rather
than an individual muscles size
or strength. Therefore, functional
movement capability should
precede performance-based
capability.
To create a functional training
program, one must break down
the movements required by the
sport. Once an understanding
of what is required has been
established, exercises can be
developed and manipulated to
become more sport specific. As
golf requires the production of such
high amounts of torque through
multiple joints, particularly the core,
the focus for training leans toward
the mobility, stability, flexibility and
strength of the core.
One such functional training
exercise that focuses on the core
is the T Spine Mobility Series
www.functionalmovement.com.
This exercise keeps the hips
stable while generating movement
fuNCTIONal fITNESS
www.motionmagazine.com.au | 27
through the spine, while also
dynamically activating the muscles
of the core, scapular stabilizers
and rotator cuff. If there are any
issues with flexibility in the core or
shoulder, this exercise is great for
identification, improvement and
management of that inflexibility.
By utilising FMS with elite junior
golfer Jack Trent a sound functional
movement base has been
established ensuring performance
measures are evaluating only
performance and not fundamental
movement pattern issues.
Therefore, fundamental movement
capability should precede
complex movement activity or skill
training. These movements form
a neuromuscular foundation for
sporting performance and reduce
compensatory substitution as
a result of limited fundamental
movement.

and Conditioning Coach, Matthew

coaches as well as Sports
Scientists on staff).

It is undeniable that all Australians have fallen in love with Manu Fieldel. I cant remember any other celebrity chef in our nations history that has
enjoyed such widespread acclaim. Recently,
I was lucky enough to catch up with Manu
and I endeavoured to try and find out what
is it about this French born Chef that has
captured the hearts of all Australians.
You first entered into an apprenticeship at
the age of fifteen, many years on you are at
the top of your game and have become globally
renowned for your talents. What keeps you
inspired and keeps the love of cooking
burning so brightly?
It is my life, and I feel it is
something I was born
to do so I dont get
bored with it. I think it
is the same with any
career if you keep
on being creative
and discovering
new products
and techniques
it keeps it
interesting.

Did you ever think, back when
you first became involved with
My Kitchen Rules, that it would
become the most watched reality
TV show in the country?
I never knew but I hoped!!
You showed you are just as brilliant
on the dance floor as you are in
the kitchen when you took out
Dancing with the Stars in 2011.
What was your most memorable
moment from the show?
Winning! It was a great experience
being involved in the show and I
have to say I enjoyed every minute,
including dancing for hours EVERY
day! Obviously though winning
and getting to do my show dance
was a highlight and the most
memorable moment for me.
Youre internationally famous, yet
you carry yourself like the archetypal
bloke next door, how do you remain
so grounded and humble?
I remember where I came from
and where I started. I dont take
life for granted and realise Im very
lucky right now, you never know
how long things will last and it
could all end tomorrow.
You have had many stellar
achievements since moving
to Australia, Is there any one
achievement that holds a special
place in your heart?
To be honest my greatest
achievement in my heart is my son
and bringing him up the way he is
On My Kitchen Rules when you
utter that one word, Bonjour, you
cause an instant hot flash with
the ladies right across Australia.
Put simply you have become a
massive Australian sex symbol,
how does this tag sit with you?
It is a strange phenomenon, I
never quite get used to it although
I would be lying if I said I didnt
enjoy it from time to time!!!
In this edition of MOTION
Magazine there is a feature article
on Matt Golinski and his passion
to return to the kitchen. Can
you explain your involvement in
the charity foundation Plates for
Mates?
When I heard the tragic news
about Matt and his family I was
straight on the phone to George,
Gary and the others and we all
were wondering what we could
do. From us all putting our heads
together Plates for Mates was
born, the 1st fund raiser last year
was a huge success and I believe is
going to help Matt set up a facility
to help others in similar situations.
Are there any upcoming events or
fundraisers for Plates for Mates that
my readers should be aware of?
Well we have expanded a
little and have Cruise for Mates
coming up; its a great opportunity
for people to get up close to
us chefs. There are 2 different
cruises around Europe - Im very
excited about it. If people want to
know more, donate or jump on
board a cruise they need to go to

Your about to walk in the
footsteps of heroes and tackle
the treacherous Kokoda Train.
This trek, 96km in total, is only
passable on foot and will take you
across rugged, isolated terrain,
climbing to 2,190 metres above
sea level. What is the motivation
behind engaging in this adventure?
Helping others. I wanted to set
myself a challenge and what better
way than to involve a charity and
raise awareness and money for a
great cause at the same time.
Depending on fitness, the Kokoda
Train normally takes between 4
and 12 days to complete. What
training have you been doing to
prepare your body for this journey
and do you have a target amount
of days that you want to complete
the trek in?
I have been training intensely
with my personal trainer (Anthony
Thompson) who is joining me on
the trek for about 3 months. As
Kokoda is more about endurance
than strength or general fitness
we have been doing lots of hill
walking, stair training and hikes.
We are going with an organisation
so will be planning to do the walk
in 9 days.
Has your diet changed whilst you
are in training? If so what stable
nutritional meal do you enjoy on a
