AUTUMN 2017

Love your local - The best dog friendly cafes near you!

Many residents at Cova are animal lovers, so we have found some of the best dog friendly cafes close to home if you’re looking to bring your dog with you to breakfast or lunch!

The best part of living at Cova is that you don’t have to go far on the weekend to enjoy coffee and a beautiful view. The Cova Bean Café, next to the Cova Sales Centre is a great option and currently operates between 7am-3pm on the weekends. It’s the perfect spot to meet your neighbours and enjoy a morning beverage of your choice. You might even spot a dolphin or two in the marina!

Fitness tips from Leka - Cova’s Live Life Get Active Trainer If you are new to exercise, a professional or bored with your current routine, the following 5 exercises can be done pretty much anywhere and increased in difficulty by reducing your rest time and increasing the number of rounds you complete.

It’s catered for all levels of fitness so play some music and let’s get moving!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING: TIME - 30 seconds for each exercise REST TIME – 10 second rest after each exercise ROUNDS - Complete all 5 exercises 1-3 times, by completing in the following order below.

EXERCISE ROUTINE 1. SQUATS - Remember to push your weight through your heels and go down as if you are sitting on a chair.

2. PUSH-UPS - On your toes, ensure your core is engaged and if you can’t complete the full 30 seconds drop to your knees and continue without stopping.

3. STATIC LUNGES - You can choose to add some weight by holding cans/water bottles. Hold these items with your arms by your sides and lunge forward alternating each leg.

4. OVERHEAD PRESS - Standing and using even weights in each hand that you are comfortable with but can still be challenging, push the weight above your head ensuring your core is activated.

5. PLANK - Ensure you are looking towards the ground and not ahead to keep your neck straight. Engage your core and start on your toes. If you can’t hold for 30 seconds, drop down to your knees and keep your core muscles activated.

NEW TO EXCERCISE? Complete one round of the circuit and build up your rounds increasing each week!
