David Letele: Why are we always getting in our own way when we're getting healthy?

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 04:05:22 +0000

It's common to come up with a myriad of excuses as to why you can't go to the gym a few times a week, why you can't make a balanced meal instead of eating out, the list goes on.

Quite honestly, almost anyone can spare 15 minutes out of the day to go for a walk or run, but instead we'll spend 30 minutes trying to come up with a good reason not to.

All too often, we tend to stand in our own way when it comes to improving our health or fitness. But why? And how do we stop it from happening?

Matt Doocey: We've come a long way with mental health

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 04:12:48 +0000

We've seen the data - the wait to get mental health or addiction support is getting lower and the system seems to be improving.

But the system is still under immense pressure, and too many people will have a story about being let down by those who were meant to help them or family, but why?

Kent Johns: Could a fad be what you need to get back into exercise?

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 04:26:36 +0000

Getting fit and healthy is just about throwing on your running shoes and making a salad.

The key to sticking with a workout routine, is finding the right sort of exercise for you so that you don't get sick of it.

We've seen another wave of fitness trends recently, with Hyrox gaining popularity, 75 Hard, and cold plunges among others.

We'll often overlook these as just being the current thing, maybe even a fad that will boost your dopamine for a week or two before fading into the abyss of the Ab Roller and other 'As Seen On TV' trends.

Claire Turnbull: More exercise doesn't mean more food

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 04:04:49 +0000

There's a fairly universal amount of food people should be eating every day.

It varies based on things like age and height - but for the most part, most adults should be aiming for a certain number of calories and macros.

But when you start getting a bit more active, working out more regularly or making changes to a sedentary lifestyle, you'll find yourself feeling more hungry, more often.

While a lot of people will be running around doing some last minute shopping for presents - they'll also be working out what to put on the table.

But as Kiwis, we waste almost as much as we eat.

Alex Flint: We're overcomplicating our health

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 04:26:06 +0000

Health seems to be overcomplicated these days - but does it really need to be?

Everywhere you look you see another kind of diet, another 'must-have' exercise machine, a drink that can replace a meal, or a new gym programme that promises to finally solve all your problems.

But truly, could the foundation of good health be as simple as a daily walk and eating whole foods? Why do so many people overlook what seem to be the staples of good health, instead going for expensive trends?

Alex Flint: Exerising just isn't enough for weight loss

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 04:10:28 +0000

It's no secret that as we get older, our metabolism slows down a bit, and staying in shape just gets harder to do - from keeping lean, maintaining muscle, and removing stubborn fat.

Ricky Gervais had a tweet about how he's working out everyday now - playing tennis, lifting weights and running. His heart's good, and he trains at a good intensity - but he wonders why he's stil overweight and exhausted?

We could just stay in the gym for longer - but not everyone's got enough time in their day for that... so what are the ways we can keep with our fitness? and why's it harder as we get older?
