This month we will be looking at two exercises that target all of your muscle groups but can be used at various speeds, reps and intensity.
Start standing with feet shoulder width apart, curl the dumbbells up, then twist around and press from your shoulders. This utilises your bicep and shoulder muscles. Lock out your arms so they are in line with your ears and above your head. Then bring the dumbbells back down to your shoulders and return to the waist. The more controlled and strict the movement the better, as this will prevent rocking and any cheating.
Squat down with the dumbbells to the floor and thrust your legs out so you are now in a push up position. This utilizes your leg muscles. Perform a push up still holding on to the dumbbells. This works your chest and triceps.
As you come in to the raised position from the push up, perform a single arm dumbbell row with your right arm. This works your back, biceps and also fires up your core.
As you row your right hand up to your chest twist and turn in to a T-side plank, raising the dumbbell up and tensing your core. Hold yourself rigid in this position for 2 seconds, and then return to the start position for a press up and repeat on the other side.
After this, thrust your legs up into your chest, and return to the standing position. This is one repetition.
You can do this with progressive weights and in reps of ten. Start with 5kg dumbbells, and progress upward 7.5kg each time. See how far you can get and how long it takes you. Alternatively perform a pyramid set. If you don’t have dumbbells available, you can use grip medicine balls or kettle bells.

From Inside Time.
All of us have times in our lives when we feel tense, nervous, worried and frightened. We might feel overwhelmed by the thoughts that keep going around in our head or by events in our lives that are facing us.
It is a common misconception that sadness is ‘weakness’ and that to feel sad somehow undermines one’s ‘toughness.
The Australian Injecting and Illicit Drug Users League (AIVL) caught up for a yarn with Esha, a Peer Harm Reduction Coordinator at QuIHN. QuIHN is a service that supports people who use drugs and alcohol in Queensland.
Grief does not discriminate as to whether the loss is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for you; it is about the absence of something you have held close for a long time.
