Healthy Sunshine Coast is excited to offer Functional Circuit Training sessions with Gaye Becker from Just 4 Your Fitness.

Functional training is a term used to describe exercise that helps you perform activities in everyday life more easily.

These exercises typically use the whole body - definitely multiple muscles - and emphasise core strength and stability.

By mirroring the movements of your daily life, like squatting, reaching or even carrying a heavy object, building functional strength can help increase your quality of life and reduce your risk of injury.

ArtsNational Sunshine Coast presents Fakes and Fortunes! (or, have I found a Constable in my attic?) Lecture by Sarah Cove.

Sarah Cove is regularly contacted by people that think they have found a previously unknown Constable!! Some have, some have not, as you will see in this lecture.

Stories will include, at opposite extremes, a hugely publicised oil sketch reputedly worth $250,000 that turned out to be a copy and the chance discovery of a favulous, almost abstract, oil study of the 1930s that had formerly belonged to an american G.I. today.

Bookings are essential
