COMMUNITY THE SOCIAL NETWORK Which posts piqued the interest of Network’s online community over the past few months? What really causes cancer (and what doesn’t) The science behind interval training In response to media reports on the link between cancer and certain meat products, this article pointed out that ‘Obesity and lack of exercise pose bigger cancer risks than red and processed meat’. You agreed. The ABC’s science show Catalyst investigated the science behind HIIT and put its reporter to the test with a 6-minute per week workout – with impressive results. Mark: Yes, bacon might be bad for you but there are areas of your health you should be more concerned with first. Lisa: I want to like this more than once #becausebacon fb.me/ozfitnetwork Samantha: This was a fantastic watch. Decided already to go to the gym (or scare the locals on the Esplanade) for some sprints tomorrow morning!

This Spring, the Network Events team hosted the return of WAFIC in Perth and the newly acquired QFit event in Brisbane. The feedback has been extremely positive, with hundreds of delegates revelling in the chance to pack heaps of new skills and industry insights into their respective weekends. It also provided a great opportunity to network with presenters and other fitness industry professionals who came together with a clear purpose – to continue learning (and teaching!) in a bid to keep moving our amazing industry forwards. With topics ranging from business and nutrition, to outdoor and group training, there was something for everyone. The Keynote Address by Network Director Lisa Champion was a standout session that really resonated with delegates: after kickstarting a kindess campaign, she showed us all what it meant to inspire greatness through connection. The team at Network would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our WA and QLD delegates who joined us at WAFIC and QFit – we hope you’re putting all your inspiration into action! 30 | NETWORK SUMMER 2015 #ozfitnetwork
