Join the Monash Health Revolution and commit to making a change today<\/h3>\n
Staff are invited to join the health revolution and commit to making a healthy lifestyle change.<\/p>\n
The Health Revolution campaign launched by Wellbeing at Monash-OHS and Monash Sport will ask staff and students to commit to making a change in one of four key areas: physical activity, mental health, nutrition\/food or general health.
![\"health](\"https:\/\/edit.blogs-monash-edu.salsa.hosting\/timeout-newsletter\/files\/2012\/03\/health-revolution4box.JPG\")
<\/p>\nDr Vicki Ashton, Occupational Physician says there\u2019s never a bad time to make a change. \u201cBy committing to one small change from the key risk factor areas, you will not only improve the way you feel today but reduce your risk of disease\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny effort you make to improve your health is a step in the right direction, even if you encounter setbacks from time to time\u201d. Dr Ashton says.<\/p>\n
The Health Revolution campaign further supports the University\u2019s commitment to providing a healthy workplace and study environment for all staff and students.<\/p>\n

Easter Eating and Fitness Tips
![\"Easter-Egg\"](\"https:\/\/edit.blogs-monash-edu.salsa.hosting\/timeout-newsletter\/files\/2012\/03\/Easter-Egg.jpg\")
<\/h3>\nEaster is a great time of family celebration; it can also be a rather indulgent time with Easter eggs, hot cross buns and lots of family meals to enjoy during the Easter get-together! While Easter eating should stay traditional and delicious; simple steps like reducing the fat and salt content or adopting alternative cooking methods can help you stay healthy and fit throughout this celebrative season.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Follow these simple tips to keep your meals healthy:<\/li>\n
- Use the freshest ingredients you can find.<\/li>\n
- Choose oily fish such as salmon or ocean trout to give your omega 3 levels a boost.<\/li>\n
- Use extra virgin olive oil for traditional roast meals.<\/li>\n
- Make your own salad dressing.<\/li>\n
- Try making your own Hot Cross Buns, and add some Gourmet Garden Ginger for added flavour and an antioxidant boost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While healthy Easter eating is essential; it is also important to not forget about the workouts. Of course, continue going to the gym everyday during Easter can be seen as too obsessive. Therefore, a \u2018condensed-but-intense-workout\u2019 at home will help to keep the muscle growth\/fat loss process going during this holiday.<\/p>\n
\u201cCondensed-but-intense-workout\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Customise your own 30-minute workout that combines THREE lower body workouts and THREE upper body exercises.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Warm up with exercises like marching or jogging in place,<\/li>\n
- Do 10-20 repetitions of a lower body exercise,<\/li>\n
- Do 10-15 repetitions of an upper body exercise,<\/li>\n
- Follow this with a minute of jumping jacks or jogging in place.<\/li>\n
- Repeat this whole routine two or even three times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

Doug Ellis Pool Re-Opening<\/h3>\n
![\"Fit](\"http:\/\/sport.monash.edu\/assets\/images\/doug-ellis-pool-web.jpg\")
<\/h3>\nMonash Sport are proud to announce the final piece of the puzzle \u2013 the Doug Ellis Swimming Pool has now been re-opened to students, staff and the community following the completion of the retiling project!<\/p>\n
This much improved campus facility underwent retiling on the 25 metre heated main and adjoining leisure pools over the course of the last 3 months to compliment the 25 metre heated variable depth pool, spa, sauna and steam rooms offered at Monash Sport Clayton.<\/p>\n
We invite all swimmers to experience this spectacular refurbished facility first hand, and all new users can enjoy the Doug Ellis Swimming Pool with a free 7 day trial!<\/p>\n
This transformation at the Doug Ellis Swimming Pool completes a suite of new facilities across Monash Sport including the recent opening of the brand new Monash Peninsula Activity and Recreation Centre (MPARC<\/a>) at Peninsula, the expanded Caulfield Health and Fitness Centre<\/a> and the refurbished Clayton Health and Fitness Centre<\/a> and new informal sports zone<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nFit Camp at Monash Sport<\/h3>\n
![\"Fit](\"http:\/\/sport.monash.edu\/assets\/images\/_B104350-250px.jpg\")
<\/h3>\nPeople dream up all sorts of wild thoughts when you tell them you’re about to join a ‘fit camp’ program. They warn of endless push-ups and unrelenting army-style tyrant coaches, and buckets of sweat you’ll need a mop to wipe up.<\/p>\n
Those warnings are only about half right, our fitness instructors at Monash Sport are no tyrants, but they will find a way to encourage and motivate you through a\u00a0typical fit camp session.<\/a><\/p>\n
Monash Sport has been running Fit Camp for about four years now, and in that time we have developed a loyal following amongst our participants. Fit Camp is designed to give people workouts they wouldn’t get using machines in the gym.<\/p>\n
The beauty of working out outside is we can use the grass and terrain to our advantage, which allows us to design a workout in almost any sort of conditions. When the weather is great, the classes are held outside, when it’s cold, dark and wet, the workouts can be modified to be run inside our Fitness Centres<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Fit Camp is also a team effort, and the nature of the program provides support to those who are doing it for their first time. At Monash Sport we can tailor each session to suit anyones fitness level.<\/p>\n
For more information on Fit Camp, please see\u00a0our website,<\/a> the next sessions will be starting at the Clayton campus on Monday 23 April.<\/p>\n

World Health Day – 7 April, 2012<\/h3>\n
![\"DSC_0202](\"https:\/\/edit.blogs-monash-edu.salsa.hosting\/timeout-newsletter\/files\/2012\/02\/DSC_0202-edited.JPG\")
Every year, World Health Day is celebrated on 7 April to mark the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organisation (founded 1948). This annual global campaign invites everyone to focus on new and emerging health issues. World Health Day provides great opportunity to start collective action to protect people\u2019s health and well-being.<\/p>\nThis year, the theme is all about \u201cGood health adds life to years\u201d. Life expectancy has increased dramatically, while birth rates are generally falling. Ageing concerns each and every one of us, but this social transformation represents both challenges and opportunities. Countries and health care systems will need to find innovative and sustainable ways to cope with the demographic shift.<\/p>\n
