Fitness News #6
Hi Guys and Gals, Welcome to Fitness News #6   Welcome to steamy Sydney, with temperatures up, the temptation is to let things slip, but the aircon is working well at the gym, so for many of you, your better there
Music
While the court case was won, Fitness First does not have a contract with the PPCA, which means that cover music will continue to be used for the foreseeable future.   All of your Les Mills programs will be receiving a new release in the next couple of weeks and then they will be released in the clubs 2 weeks after.  The good news for RPM is that there is 3 bonus tracks, so you will be getting almost 1 ½ releases
Queensland Floods – impact of food prices
Australia has the second highest of obesity in the world, but if look at good food is cheaper than junk food.  A packet of corn chips out of a vending machine in the office may only cost a couple of gold coins, but if you look at price per kilo, its about $20 per kilo at the supermarket, so how much is it truly costing you from the vending machine?   In comparison, as a result of the Queensland floods, fresh fruit prices are going thru the roof, I was astounded to see bananas at $6 a kilo today at my local supermarket, highway robbery…yes, but put it in perspective $6 per kilo for bananas and $20 a kilo for corn chips.  Expect fresh food prices to continue to rise, but keep it in perspective to the true price of other food and the cost to your health
	The humble vending machine, it seems to have invaded almost every office, usually there are two, one providing drinks and the other providing snacks.  Convenience is the name of the game, how easy is it to drop some coins in and get a sugar of fat/carb hit.   What you can do to counteract the temptation is to have at the ready your own food; 1                    Water.  Yes it quenches thirst and is available in the office for free. 2                    Fresh fruit.  What can I say 3                    Nuts.  Laced with healthy fats and can be stored for a reasonable amount of time.  Best pics are 1. Almonds, 2. Walnuts, 3 Cashews.  By dividing them into smaller packets, serving size can be controlled to satisfy the snack attack while not going overboard on portion size
