THIS SPORTING LIFE Applications Now Open For Sporting Grants Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres MP is encouraging local groups to apply for NSW Government grants that could fund new sport facilities or programs that help people get active. The NSW Government is offering grants to local sporting groups and councils planning new and improved sports facilities or programs that increase participation in sport and recreation. “I know we have a lot of passionate sports people and dedicated club volunteers here in Penrith who would love funding to improve their facilities or run new programs,” Mr Ayres said. “I encourage them to make the most of this opportunity to secure a grant for their local project – whether it’s building new netball courts, installing shading at a swimming pool or running a special tournament for disadvantaged young people.” Applications for Round One of the Sport and Recreation Participation and Facility Program 2013-14 close on 30 October 2013. Grants are capped at $10,000 for participation projects and $25,000 for facility projects. Organisations may apply for multiple projects or project types, with the maximum available to any one organisation in a financial year capped at $50,000. Applicants must contribute 50% or more to the project. Examples of projects eligible for funding: Facility projects – the construction of new, fixed and portable facilities; and enhancement of existing facilities. Participation projects – deliver a program or service that will assist people to become more active. Projects that make sport and recreation facilities safer, more accessible and environmentally sustainable and programs that provide greater sporting options to seniors, people with a disability and other groups facing barriers to participation are strongly encouraged to apply. For more information and application guidelines, please visit the website at www.dsr.nsw.gov.au/grants or phone 13 13 02.

KEEPING FIT WITH Rj Weight Training for Weight Loss One of the biggest myths in the fitness world is that weight loss is solely attributed to cardiovascular exercise and that lifting weights will only make you bulky. Nothing could be further from the truth. Cardiovascular exercise will help you to shed the weight initially, but if you don’t lift weights in conjunction with cardio, as much as 50% of the weight you lose on the scales can be muscle. Although you don’t always burn as many calories during a weights session (compared to cardio) you do continue to burn calories and increase your metabolic rate for the next 24 hours after a weights session. Maintaining muscle is also vital for many health reasons including; prevention of diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease and can also assist with maintaining bone mineral density. Weight training will give you definition, strong curves and good muscle tone. Go and check out our blog today for an example of a Weight Loss program.
