Kommuniti Walking Group - Kingsley 6026
Robinson Cycle/walkway opposite 15 St Johns Ct Kingsley (Freeway end)

The wonder drug
Walking for an average of 30 minutes or more a day can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke by 35% percent and Type 2 diabetes by 40%.
It’s not just your heart and muscles that benefit from walking.
Regular physical activity can help:
reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke
manage weight, blood pressure and blood cholesterol
prevent and control diabetes
reduce your risk of developing some cancers
maintain your bone density, reducing your risk of osteoporosis and fractures
improve balance and coordination, reducing your risk of falls and other injuries
improve our daily mood which cumulatively leads to better mental health
Find your 30
All adults aged 18-64 years should aim for 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. That’s 30 minutes on five days of the week. It’s considered ‘moderate’ if it takes some effort, but you’re still able to talk comfortably.
Or start with 10
If you can’t find time for a 30-minute walk, try breaking your 30 minutes of walking into three 10-minute sessions on each of 5 days, is just as beneficial as doing the 30 minutes in one go!
If you're already finding your 30, you should consider picking up the pace, as people who are already active will benefit even more by exercising harder and longer.
For more health benefits, do 300 minutes of moderate activity each week, or 150 minutes of vigorous exercise. ‘Vigorous’ exercise means it requires more effort and makes you breathe harder and faster, for example, jogging where it becomes difficult to hold a conversation.
Some activity is always better than none
When it comes to walking for heart health, some is better than none (and more is even better). If you're not physically active, start by doing 10 minutes of brisk walking, and gradually build up to the recommended amount. Visit your GP or health professional for advice on how to safely build up your movement.
Have a heart condition?
Walking with guidance or supervision is an important part of cardiac rehabilitation programs, and for people diagnosed with heart disease or recovering from a heart attack. But it’s important to speak with your GP to learn how to safely build up your activity.
For more information on ways to build up your walking after a heart event or surgery, visit heartfoundation.org.au or call the Heart Foundation Helpline on 13 11 12 for free personalised information and support on heart health, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

Kommuniti Kuppa - Kingsley District
Dôme Café - Kingsley
09:30 – 11:00
Hi All
What is Kommuniti Kuppa?
We meet twice a month at the moment on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month in an informal setting and without an agenda.
What do you talk about
We talk about what ever takes people's fancy on the day....
There have been connections made from birthplaces, gardening, social outings, recommendations for local trades and services.
Most of the conversations have been very light-hearted with some jokes thrown in for good measure.
Will you come and join us and meet your extended neighbours and those who might have lived in Kingsley and Surrounds for years.
See you soon.
Kindest regards
Allan
Nextdoor Kingsley Lead and
