FREE WAYS TO STAY ACTIVE ON THE GOLD COAST WITH 300 DAYS OF SUNSHINE A YEAR, AN ENVIABLE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND A LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS, ONE MIGHT ARGUE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE GOES HAND IN HAND WITH LIVING ON THE GOLD COAST.

Embracing a healthier lifestyle doesn’t have to break the bank – we’ve found 5 ways you can stay active on the Gold Coast for free!

1. OUTDOOR GYM Gym memberships can get pricey, so why not use one of the Gold Coast’s open air outdoor gyms?

If you’ve ever strolled along the oceanway paths in our coastal suburbs, you’ve probably noticed clusters of exercise equipment sprinkled throughout our parks. From ellipticals to cardio steppers, to bars and plyometrics, you can tailor your own workout to suit your fitness level.

While there are various parks on the coast, our hot tip is to check out the Varsity Lakes outdoor gym at Varsity Central Park. Home to 17 workout stations, the park caters to all fitness levels and is the perfect spot the next time you want to pump some iron.

Bonus: the park is fully lit and covered, meaning you can work out rain, hail or shine!

2. HIT THE STAIRS Burn baby burn! Ready to set your quads on fire? Grab a friend and make your way to the famed Currumbin stairs on Pacific Parade. The stairs are located in Wallace Nicoll Park

opposite

Currumbin

Alley. Here you’ll find local HIIT enthusiasts pounding their way up roughly 130 steps. You’ll be soaked in sweat in no time – however the view at the top is worth the climb!

8

3. TRY A FITNESS CLASS Group fitness can be an excellent way to stay motivated with a health regime; the hard work of planning a workout is already done for you – just turn up and go!

The City of Gold Coast’s Active & Healthy program offers a timetable of free and low-cost classes to encourage the wider community to embrace active living. From yummy mummy bootcamps, saluting the sun with yoga, Tai Chi to having a splash at aqua classes, you’re bound to find something suitable.

With new classes constantly being added to the timetable, the Active & Healthy program can be a great way to try a new fitness craze at an affordable price point.

4. TAKE THE BIKE FOR A SPIN With more than 1000 kilometres of bikeways connecting the city, exploring the Gold Coast on wheels is a great way to stay fit and avoid traffic.

Whether you prefer the coastal route or perhaps something a little more challenging, you can find inspiration to plan your next cycle here.

Pro tip: make a pit stop at one of the coast’s many cafes and enjoy your caffeine fix as a little treat.

5. PARKRUN Love hitting the pavement but wish you had some company? Jump on the parkrun wagon and join other avid runners at 7am every Saturday morning on a timed 5km run at parkrun locations across the city. Parkrun is an inclusive event, with everyone from beginners to budding Olympic athletes welcomed to take part. It’s free to join in – just make sure to register before your first run online.

STEVE IRWIN AWARD FOR ECOTOURISM

to sustainable tourism, even more so that the award represents Steve Irwin and his unmatched dedication to the protection of wildlife and wild places on our planet. A big congratulations to every single nominee and winner from the evening. On Lady Elliot Island we have the courage to push ahead and find ways in which people can exist in our spectacular and fragile environment with a minimum footprint. We are custodians of this very special environment and we are proud to lead the way in environmental and sustainable initiatives here in Queensland, Australia and worldwide. We believe our mission and role here is to make a difference for the future of this amazing planet”

L

ady Elliot Island Eco Resort has taken out gold in the ‘Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism’ category at the annual Queensland Tourism Awards held on Friday 8th November at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort continues to strive and provide a genuine ecotourism experience to all guests who visit the Island whilst at the same time ensuring we protect and preserve the fragile ecosystem for future generations to enjoy. We are extremely honoured to be presented with this remarkable accolade in recognition of our contribution to sustainable tourism.

Peter Gash, Managing Director/Custodian, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort

The ‘Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism’ recognises ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that foster environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation.

TURTLE NESTING IN FULL SWING

L

ady Elliot Island is a significant nesting location for Green and Loggerhead Turtles. Nesting season normally occurs between November to February, with hatchlings emerging from January to March.

Nesting can occur anywhere around the island but the majority of nests have been recorded in the sand dunes in front of the resort and either end of the airstrip. The nesting process can take between 2 - 8 hours depending on the turtle species and how quickly a suitable nesting site is located.

If the female turtle considers the nesting site unsuitable, it will move to another location.

We wish to thank everyone who has supported Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort through our sustainability journey.

“The remarkable Lady Elliot Island Team were rewarded with Gold at the Queensland Tourism Awards on Friday night. It is a challenge to win this award. I believe its one of the most hotly contested in the state. We are all very honoured to be recognised for our contribution

rays from photographs and enter the results in the database. They also collect samples of water and plankton and take oceanographic measurements of water currents, conductivity, temperature, and depth.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort has launched a 2 night turtle package, valid for travel from 28 January to 31 March 2020. Aptly named ‘Turtley Amazing!’, this is a great time to visit Lady Elliot Island if you love turtles as much as we do!

Photographs and videos of manta rays are particularly needed for this project to be successful. Photos are utilised for photo-identification of manta rays and are integrated in a major photographic database which includes all pictures of manta rays recorded around the Australian coastline.

Share you photos with Project Manta and if a new manta is identified from your shots, you will get to NAME YOUR OWN MANTA.

MANTA RAYS

L

ady Elliot Island is known as ‘Home of the Manta Ray’ and these giant kites of the sea can be seen feeding around the island throughout the year but aggregate in larger numbers during the winter months.

The manta ray is the world’s largest ray, with a wing span of up to seven meters.

More info: https://biomedical-sciences. uq.edu.au/project-manta

Manta alfredi, the species found on Lady Elliot island, is known to occur off both the western and eastern Australian coasts. Early data from Project Manta showed that manta rays travel a distance of at least 500km between Lady Elliot Island in Queensland and Byron Bay in New South Wales within few months.

Project Manta visit Lady Elliot Island twice a year as part of their multidisciplinary study of manta rays, established in 2007, that aims to provide much needed biological and ecological information on the species in Australian waters. On these expeditions the team will conduct research which includes photographing, observing and recording manta ray behaviour. In the lab, they identify individual

HEALTHY AND WEALTHY After the holiday season, it’s easy to be distracted from your financial goals. But this is actually the perfect time to put a few simple plans in place for a positive start to the New Year.

N

ew Year’s resolutions have a bad reputation, and for good reason. So let’s agree up front that we won’t think of financial preparations for the New Year as “resolutions”. Instead this is a great opportunity to set things in order, re-group and look back to ensure things are on track, and of course to re-balance and plan for the year ahead.

Best practice around reviewing your finances for the New Year begins with a calculation of your net worth. Save this somewhere so it’s easily accessible next year, and you’ll have a simple and effective way to measure your progress against a set goal. Include all of your assets (property, cash etc) and liabilities to calculate a final figure.

Next, pick a couple of items from your financial portfolio, whether they be credit

Southport

card or mortgage, superannuation accounts or insurance policies etc, and do some research to find out whether you’re getting the best possible deal. Interest rates, fees and risk profiles should be checked at least every few years for each of your accounts.

Just as compound interest can be enormously effective over time, so too higher fees and costs can result in far less wealth at the end of your investment period.

Spend some time getting to know your investments. How much is in your super? How is it invested? Are you on target to achieve your final goal? What difference could you make by re-balancing certain investments? Ask questions and seek clear and relevant answers as if you’re looking after the world’s most important retirement nest egg…BECAUSE YOU ARE!

NEW YEAR Then, depending on your stage of life: UP TO 40 YEARS OLD • Consider maximising the effects of compound interest and perhaps even saving a little tax by salary sacrificing a small amount – perhaps $20 to $50 a week – into your super. A little now adds up to a lot later. Be wary not to exceed contributions caps though.

• Check that your investments are allocated correctly to match your risk profile and the fact that you have several decades to ride out any market turbulence.

• Analyse your insurance needs and check you have the correct levels of cover. You possibly have people that rely on you to provide for them. Make sure you, and they, are suitably protected.

FROM 40 TO 60 YEARS OLD • It’s time to start knocking down that bad debt, so make that a priority for the next few years and track your success using your net worth document.

• Insurance is vital at this stage of life as you’ll likely have dependants and major responsibilities, such as a mortgage. Check you are insured to the right level.

• Consider what you can do at work, or outside of work, in order to improve your earning potential.

• Analyse your superannuation and figure out whether you need to begin maximising contributions, but don’t exceed contributions caps as additional tax will then apply.

• Depending on your comfort with risk and your time left in the market, your portfolio’s risk/growth exposure should be periodically fine-tuned.

PRE-RETIREES AND RETIREES • How long will your retirement wealth last?

How are your investments performing? This is perhaps the most important period of life to ensure your portfolio and retirement income stream are suited to your lifestyle.

• Is your estate protected? Organise a will and enduring power of attorney if you haven’t already done so.

• Put some money aside to enjoy yourself whether it be for travel, a hobby, a course or simply a night out to dinner every so often. You have earned it.

PLANNING FOR THE BEST To revisit your financial plan and ensure you’re on track to achieving your goals, or to put new plans in place for the year ahead, speak to an MBA financial adviser.

FASHION 2020 FOR FASHION IS GOING TO BE THE YEAR OF MINIMALISM AND ESCAPE

A

fter the summer Australia has had, it would be very difficult to spurge when our beautiful land is in re build mode.

But as for the real trends, we fashion lovers cannot contain ourselves when it comes to buying.

We will re use & re style what we have, we could even make use of our better halves favourites! Your wardrobe may become more masculine. Wearing your man’s white polo shirt & dress shirts to create a relaxed & casual feel. Teamed back with a longer length formal short, an untamed eyebrow shape & natural make-up complete the look.

But, when we do this season it will be to take us away.

Floral, leafy prints are also going to be huge! Think that famous cut away J Lo dress from the Versace runway.

Tropical prints take us away to foreign destinations & symbolise escapism.

Something we all crave, especially after the summer we have had.

Matchy Matchy is growing in popularity too. Think double denim, think dressing your family in the same prints, styles or outfits.

So take what you have, what your family has & if making an addition to your wardrobe in 2020, make sure its to have some fun & take you away, even if it is just for the neighbours BBQ!

MIND YOUR HEALTH WITH MINDFULNESS

BY ALISTAIR MITCHELL

Try mindful meditation

Being mindful is Step #5 of the @discovering_the_best_ you “Mind Your Health” program.

If you’re ready to go a little deeper into developing your mindfulness, consider mindful meditation. To do this, sit quietly with your eyes closed and focus on your breath, or on a word or a phrase that you repeat quietly. Allow your thoughts to come and go, and try not to follow them. When your mind starts to wander, gently lead it back to your breathing, or to the word or phrase you’ve chosen.

MINDFULNESS simply means paying attention to the present moment. Practicing #mindfulness can help you to cope with everyday life and deal with tough times. It can also help you to concentrate, relax and be more productive.

Here are some different ways you can build mindfulness, plus tips on what to do if you’re finding it hard.

You can practise mindful meditation by yourself, or you can use an app (such as Headspace or Smiling Mind) if you want some guidance. If you find your mind wandering, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It just means you have a normal human mind!

Helpful tips * Don’t expect to be able to hold your focus for very long, especially when you’re just getting started. * It’s completely normal for your thoughts to wander. * The goal isn’t to have a totally ‘blank’ mind; it’s more about noticing and gently guiding your mind back when your thoughts do wander. * The more you practice mindfulness, the better you’ll become at it.

Focus only on the present moment You can develop mindfulness during regular activities such as when walking, driving or even brushing your teeth. The key is to try and focus only on the present moment and not pay too much attention to your thoughts about the past or the future. Ask yourself what is happening for you right now. Is your breathing slow or fast? Are you tired?

Are you hungry? How do you feel?

ALISTAIR MITCHELL T: 0457 756 004 ADMIN@DISCOVERINGTHEBESTYOU.COM.AU

Concentrate on what’s happening around you When you concentrate on what’s happening around you, you’re less likely to get caught up in your thoughts. Ask yourself whether you feel hot or cold. What does the air feel like on your face? What sounds can you hear? What can you smell?
