‘Only when one cannot sleep does one know how long the night is’

Tired of not sleeping?

Anyone who’s ever experienced an occasional bout of insomnia can relate to this. Daily stress and pressures, body aches and pains, uncomfortable beds or pillows, and a host of other issues can keep us from getting enough quality sleep. Sleep is ESSENTIAL to good health. It is one of the most important functions of the brain. Through it, our bodies rest, recharge and regenerate for the next day’s challenges. Here are some helpful tips for a better night’s sleep: • Exercise daily. • Limit sugar, caffeine and alcohol especially in the evening. • Reduce screen time, at least one hour before bed. • Go to bed and wake up every morning at the same time. • Keep your bedroom cool, dark and a comfortable temperature.

PILATES STARTER SPECIAL

1 Initial Assessment + 2 Semi Private Sessions = $195

More info at ps64.com.au Page 24 - September 2017, The Hills Echo

• Invest in a mattress that provides support for your spine. • Purchase a contoured pillow - this provides support for your neck curve and a chance for your muscle to really relax. • Use a form of Magnesium to help with muscle aches and pains. • Rub lavender oil onto the soles of your feet at night. The nervous system plays a vital role in all bodily functions. Having an overactive nervous system can have an impact on ability to sleep, duration of sleep, energy levels, concentration, alertness and co-ordination. Here at Ferny Chiropractic our practitioners aim to improve the function of the nervous system, and in doing so give the body a chance to rest, recharge and regenerate. For more information please contact Ferny Chiropractic on 3351 0933.

MEN IN PILATES

While women tend to dominate PILATES classes, Pilates holds many benefits for men who rise to the challenge- yes, it’s hard! Pilates can help fine-tune your performance.

Pilates for men is increasingly becoming a choice of exercise for many, with benefits including improved posture, core strength, muscle tone and flexibility to build stronger bodies... it’s time to put down the dumbbell. Men are missing out on a number of benefits that perfectly complement weight training. Pilates was created by a man Joseph Pilates, who came from a background of boxing, self defence and wrestling - nothing soft about that. While Pilates classes still remain female - dominated, Pilates Studio 64 has a large male clientele with Male instructors. Shayne Smith, is Pilates Studio 64 head trainer and loves to see more men doing Pilates. Shayne comes from a martial arts background, ex-tradesman himself and swears that Pilates has changed his life with quality movement and education of the human body. Pilates Studio 64 offers pilates matwork classes, studio pilates equipment classes in small groups of four with qualified BASI pilates instructors. Shayne and the PS64 teaching team welcome all walks of life to their studio and encourage anyone looking to commence Pilates to feel welcome to join at any age and any level. For more details on classes and times, call or email and speak to one of our friendly staff to organise your first appointment. www.ps64.com.au. New client starter packs available that include: First Pilates matwork class $15.00 and Studio equipment starter pack from $195 (includes Initial assessment and x2 semi private equipment classes).

Not Your Average Gym!

Ritual HQ, a gym located in The Gap, on the Westside of Brisbane, is not your standard 24/7 gym.

RHQ, as it is fondly known by its community members, is a gym where members come to join a gym and stay because they belong to a community of people who genuinely care. RHQ is also fast becoming known as the gym that gets results. With their specialized small group training, seven of the best coaches in Brisbane, two onsite owners, strength and conditioning groups for Mums, teens and intermediate lifters, this gym has something for everyone. Their volunteering community known as the RHQ Army hits school fetes, and community ‘gigs’ all over the Westside. If you are looking for a gym that genuinely cares, believes in mutual accountability and will fight for you and the results you came for, then this is the gym for you. For more information call (07) 3300 5551 or visit the website www.ritualhq.com.au

Tyler Small Director, Head Strength Coach and Operations Manager Chantal Coleman Director, Head Strength Coach and Dream Manager

Ritual HQ: 858 Waterworks Rd, The Gap. Brisbane

Our gym. Our family. Our story. “Our story starts here, at Ritual HQ, together as a family. We’re juggling a lot of commitments to make sure we’re accountable to this lifestyle – footy training, dance classes, work, you name it! But for us exercise is not an option, it’s a priority. We’re all motivated by different reasons, my husband Jay wants to make the most of every moment, my kids Ethan and Aliyah are all about having fun and making people laugh, and I want to have a positive influence on those around me. We enjoy exercising together because we feel part of a community that is the Ritual HQ family, a sense of belonging that we all share with people we can count on. It’s not just a great gym, but also great staff and great people. There’s a place for everyone, and everyone is welcomed and valued. We try not to take life too seriously, and that’s what I love about our story.”

IS STRESS WIPING YOU OUT?

Did you know that a little stress is healthy? It challenges you and makes you stronger. But stresses are not always easy to resolve and your stress response may be constantly activated. Stress without adequate recovery may substantially affect your energy levels leaving you tired and fatigued. The average adult juggles a multitude of commitments and the list continues to grow, leaving little time for relaxation. Your brain is the first organ that senses stress. It responds by sending messages to your adrenal glands that then release Cortisol to help you deal with stress. With long term stress, the brain may try to self-regulate itself by toning down these signals as a form of protection. This leads to low energy and can often wipe you out. Local Acupuncturist and Naturopath, Patricia McNab, is well aware of how stress affects our body. Over the last 30 years, Patricia has helped many people who find life gets too tough. She can personalise treatments including herbal, nutritional, lifestyle and acupuncture to help your body find more energy to get you back to your old self. Patricia practices at Ferny Chiropractic, Ferny Hills (Ph 3351 0933) and at North Brisbane Chiropractic, Everton Park (Ph. 3354 3111).If stress is wiping you out – make an appointment with Patricia today – she will be able to help you find the real you – again!!!!!

Did you know that the Hills District is home to one of the few dedicated pregnancy and postnatal group fitness providers in Brisbane?

Go Mum! classes provide a welcoming environment where mums can socialise, keep the kids close by and enjoy their exercise in a stress free environment. With huge indoor, carpeted venues and flexible bookings Go Mum also strives to be as convenient as possible.

Zumba For Everyone!

During winter, we can often lose our motivation to maintain our regular workout routine. With summer just around the corner, it’s time to come out of hibernation and get back on track.

Did you know there is an awesome workout regime that offers you the opportunity to dance to great music, meet local people and burn plenty of calories without even realising it? Zumba offers all this and more. Zumba Fitness takes the ‘work’ out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval style, calorie burning dance fitness party. For a lower impact option, why not try Zumba Gold, perfect for beginners and active older adults. Not forgetting the younger Zumba fans, Zumba Kids is ideal for primary school aged children. Once the Latin and world rhythms take over, you’ll see why Zumba classes are often called exercise in disguise; they are effective and fun. The benefit is a total workout combining all elements of fitness - cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, and boosted energy. Classes are for everybody and every body. They can be geared for just about any fitness level. There are no wrong moves - as long as you're moving and keeping your heart rate up, you’re doing it right! Zumba with Narelle offers weekly classes in Grovely, Mitchelton and Taigum. Phone Narelle on 0408 716 503 or visit www. narellemcdowall.zumba.com www.hillsecho.com

I haven’t felt this good for 10 years!

Recently I had a lady come into my clinic who said to me in these exact words: ‘I haven‘t felt this good for 10 years!’ At first I was gobsmacked and thought how sad considering what she had missed out on due to exhaustion and overwhelming stress. Originally when she came to Banksia she was extremely stressed and busy meeting deadlines, making her uptight plus she was caring for a very sick husband. She was at breaking point, emotionally and physically. Juggling life and just overwhelmed trying to get everything done. Luckily this lady saw me speak at a function on How much does your health cost you, your family, and your work. It was this presentation that she knew applied to her to do something for herself or otherwise the cost of falling apart would be catastrophic especially if it affected her job. As she was the main bread winner it was time to do something right now. On her first visit to me she found the acupuncture and massage treatments so relaxing. Along with the positive natural drug free way to become calmer. One day she commented that a co-worker had said to her ‘you don’t have any deadlines at the moment do you?’ thinking she would say ‘no’, my client actually said ‘yes’. Her work colleague was amazed because usually Mrs E P was stressed and worried about getting her work completed on time. As my client has continued her treatments she noticed she Are you concerned that Depression, Anxiety, was singing on her drive to work and realised she had never Self Esteem, Relationship or Personal Issues are stopping felt so good. I am so pleased for her, knowing how wonderful you from being the person you want to be? she feels today. Being at her best reflects on all aspects of Are you concerned that your child lacks Social Skills and may be her life today. suffering from ADHD, Autism or Asperger Syndrome? Comment from my client after reading the above review. Let us assist you or your child in taking a step forward..... This represents me very well. It is also quite strange to read this from another person’s perspective. I also feel sorry for Lindsay Trims Michelle Carroll-Walden that person who walked in your door last September. She Principal Psychologist Associate Psychologist really was in a lot of physical and mental pain.

Box Your Way to Fitness To get fit and to reduce unwanted weight gain, the best teacher is someone who has ‘been there, done that.’ Nadine found herself seeking a fitness pathway after the arrival of her two children and with weight gain that she wanted to shed. After trialling several fitness regimes, Nadine discovered that boxing provided the solution. Nadine came from an accounting background and after six years of boxing, used her professional experience to open her own boxing fitness business in March last year. Endurance Boxing is situated at 11/1147 South Pine Road Arana Hills. The studio is a dedicated boxing studio with 11 fixed boxing bags. It has a Sign-in Lounge, modern toilet facilities and free tea and coffee for a spot of relaxation after a vigorous workout.

Boxing is a style of fitness that offers a range of techniques to suit all levels of fitness. ‘Endurance is as much about community as it is about getting fit and healthy,’ said Nadine. ‘We have a diverse age group from 8 up to 70 and any class can be catered to any fitness level. We have a culture that ‘nobody finishes last’ and that instils a great sense of camaraderie amongst my clients.’ Classes include boxing, kettlebell classes, weight lifting, strength and conditioning and personal training.

Yoga For Kids & Teens

Have you ever thought about the impacts of our technological world on our Children?

The instant results at the click of a button,we have even done away with ‘the button’ to create more speed! Faster and faster responses from our screens. The internet and the constant over stimulation of computers with six different pages open at once. Our Teenagers holding text conversations with multiple people, all talking about different topics, but unable to communicate face to face or stay focused on one task. Just walking down the street we are bombarded with each shop having a neon sign. Our schools even have advertising signs now. So much over stimulation for our senses. We believe it’s time to teach our kids and teens how to STOP ‘Breath and Reflect’ and have a sense of Satisfaction and accomplishment, before rushing off to achieve and do more. This coming term Yoga Sol will have Children's Yoga classes ranging from 4-7 (Little Yogis), 8-10 (Young Yogis) and for Teens and inbetweens starting from 11 years. Through movement,Yoga Games and mindfulness we will be helping our Little Yogis understand their emotions Our young Yogis feel comfortable in the world around them and develop an understanding of self. For our Teens we will explore how to deal with over powering emotions, Challenging relationships and building skills to manage Teenage stress. Investing into our children's emotional future is encouraging strong grounded Adults of tomorrow. www.hillsecho.com

Your Local Denture Professional at Arana Hills

Dentures are false teeth made to replace teeth you have lost. Dentures can be complete or partial. Complete dentures cover your entire upper or lower jaw. Partials replace one or a few teeth.

Advances in dentistry have made many improvements in dentures. They are more natural looking and comfortable than they used to be (Premium Dentures are available). But, they still may feel strange at first. In the beginning, denture provider like Denture Square team may want to see you often to make sure the dentures fit. Over time, your mouth will change and your dentures may need to be adjusted or replaced. Be sure to let Denture Square team handle these adjustments. Speaking and eating may feel different with dentures. Be careful when wearing dentures because they may make it harder for you to feel hot foods and liquids. Also, you may not notice biting on a bone from your food. Dentures can help to prevent problems with eating and speech and, if you need complete dentures, they can also improve the appearance of your smile and give you confidence. Get started by contacting the team for a Denture consultation at Denture Square Arana Hills today. Call 07 3189 7085 or visit their website www. denturesquare.com for more information. The friendly team look forward to helping you soon! (Conditions Apply)

SOUKYA

‘SOUKYA’ (pronounced ‘sook-ya’) originates from the Sanskrit work Health ‘Soukhyam’ meaning ‘well-being and a &“Well”Being harmonious state of the mind, body and spirit’.

Your body is designed to work in balance and sometimes finding that balance between family, work, and lifestyle can be difficult, leaving our immune system compromised. Our emotions and how we view the world impacts our body at the deepest level, and our body starts to show this as pain, discomfort and illness.

Being strong women is so important at every age and not just for a season.

soukya.com.au In our club we have recent testimonies of how strong bones and muscles have supported our members through knee, hip and ankle surgeries. I’ve also had knee surgery in the last month following a running injury. Strong, healthy muscles, bones and tissue meant a knee replacement was averted and instead I’ve had a partial knee reconstruction. Jeanette, Sue, Fran and Annette have all returned to the club three months after double knee replacements. Others have also returned more quickly than originally expected to show off post-surgery. At Curves Mitchelton, our members receive coaching and support with every workout, making their strength training a planned and positive addition to rehabilitation. We work in conjunction with medical teams to support our members re-build their strength and enjoy new freedoms. Balance and confidence are important parts of a Curves workout. Every member benefits, whether she is stretching tight leg muscles from wearing killer heels, building strength for a challenging Fun Run or just safely negotiating life. Our specialty Body Basics Circuits incorporate principles from yoga and Pilates for even more effective outcomes. For $1, join Curves now and experience the difference a strong body can make for you!
