Follow this blog and our Twitter @c20wellbeing (https://twitter.com/c20wellbeing). 

 As our first blog post, we thought we'd provide a brief introduction of the members of this group that will be making the posts over the next few weeks along with the the topic they will be covering.

James works as a First Responder for St John Ambulance Australia (NSW) in his spare time and has a great passion for first aid volunteering. It should be noted that the first aid blog posts should not be used as a substitute for a medical professional's advice.

Amy's exercises can be done anywhere including the gym, the park and also in your own bedroom.

 Each member will be posting at least once a week on their individual topic. Please feel free to comment and provide feedback on each of the posts. Later on we will be making a group vlog featuring some of the tips and advice we've written about so your feedback will definitely help in choosing which ones to include in the video.

What usually comes to mind first when a person thinks ‘healthy eating’? Salad! Salads are a great way to eat healthy while also being able to have a delicious meal and there are so many to choose from.

Both soul origin and sumo salad use the exact same ingredients with the only differences being that sumo salad uses grilled chicken and soul origin uses poached chicken and that sumo salad has a Caesar dressing, whereas soul origin had lime mayo. Our criteria will be: price, taste, presentation and healthin...

Not only, is fitness great for your physical body and health but it also helps stressing individuals, like myself, release tension. There are many fantastic workout routines and today, I will share with you my all time favourite fitness practice. Just taking 15-20 mins out of my day, I am able to feel empowered, good about myself and free. Hopefully you will too!
