FITNESS CALENDAR: Download this easy-to-follow workout routine This is the final week of the Get Your Body Right series. And we have a special two week plan you can do on repeat. This is why you should keep going.

Description

The Herald Sun article introduces a downloadable two-week workout plan designed to be repeated continuously once completed, marking the final instalment of the Get Your Body Right six-week fitness series. Developed by exercise scientists including Deb Lawrence, and guided by experts such as Associate Professor Dawson Kidgell and Dr Dilan Seneviratne Epa, the program emphasises resistance training two to three times per week, complemented by regular walking and mobility work. The underlying rationale is that, as people age, muscle strength and brain–muscle activation decline by around 2–3% per year if not maintained through consistent training. This structured plan aims to counteract such declines by promoting functional strength and daily movement through step-count targets. The article also features real-life testimonials, such as a 62-year-old retiree who lost 2 kg and improved his strength, and a journalist who lost 3 kg while training for a trek to Machu Picchu. The two-week calendar offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced options, along with guidance for walking on non-training days and mobility exercises. Participants are encouraged to repeat the program once completed, reinforcing sustainable, ongoing physical activity habits.
