Fitness Myth: More is better


Many people believe that more exercise performed will always lead to an improvement. However, there is a limit to the amount of exercise that one can perform before experiencing the effects of "overtraining". The human body requires rest between exercise bouts in order to recover from the exertion undertaken in each session, as well as to recharge mentally. The negative effects of overtraining can include sickness, a decrease in performance, injury, depression and a loss in motivation.

In order to prevent overtraining, each exercise program should have adequate rest periods between each session. This is known as periodization. Adequate periodization will prevent overtraining and allow each person to perform to their maximum ability.

My name is Steve. I am in grade ten at Whites Hill State College; I am currently studying maths, English, manual arts, community rec and health and physical education. I play football for the carina leagues club and have been since I was eleven. Last year I was selected for the South East Queensland team. I also enjoy boxing and other sports. Favourite thing to do, by far, is motorbike riding. My idol would be Robby Madison because he takes risks and is an all out mad guy. After school I would like to become a fireman, mechanic or personal trainer.

Corporate Fitness Training


The benefits of implementing a corporate wellness program include:

•improved corporate image
•financial benefits for the company
•health benefits for the staff


The financial benefits for a company are:
improved staff productivity
more alert staff
more alert staff work better together
reduced absenteeism and sick leave
increased motivation
increased energy levels
reduction in smoking


The benefits for the staff are: reduced blood pressure, reduced cholesterol levels, reduced obesity, better posture, decreased stress levels, reduced coronary problems.

One of the biggest benefits of corporate fitness is reduced staff turn over. Staff turn over is a major cost to a company, and is estimated to cost approximately 40% of the first years salary of the employee.

Most people spend a significant proportion of their time at work so work is an ideal place to promote increased physical fitness.

Personal Trainers and Park Registration


Due to the increasing numbers of Personal Trainers using parks and other outdoor spaces for training some councils are enforcing licensing systems. The Brisbane City Council has no plans to do so, however Cairns and the Sunshine Coast already have systems. The Gold Coast City Council is introducing a system from next year.
Councils say the reasons for the licensing are about public liability issues.
OR is it a money grab?
