Hullabaloo and Active Kidz raising money for Diabetes Australia

G'day  Glenn here. Get your wallets out! C’mon…it’s for a good cause.

Let me explain…

A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. OHHH!

Don’t panic! All is OK. Apart from cutting down on the coke and chocolate, I got into walking. Big deal you may say. Well, it was for me. I was one of those start/stop type exercisers. Into it for a few days, then give up for a few months…rinse, repeat.

So I needed a way to make walking a habit. I had to do this or I’d be on insulin, and that’s something I intend to delay as long as possible. So if a short walk in the morning was going to help, I’m there.

Long story short, we (as in Hullabaloo) created ‘Ezywalk’ – the personal trainer in your headphones. Our recorded personal trainer Monique Levis, takes you through a set of walking exercises all to funky music designed to make you walk at the correct pace. The good thing is, the 6-Week Challenge that we developed that gets the listener into a habit of walking every day – from 7 minutes a day. And, Diabetes Australia think it’s so good, they now support the program.

Just recently we completed a fifty minute special with Active Kidz.  Childhood obesity is on the rise and we all know why.  It's no so much the food as the inactivity.  Active Kidz are focused on getting Aussie kids moving, even if its in the loungeroom!

Did you now that 10 million Aussies have diabetes and 275 people a day are diagnosed. Do you walk most days of the week?

Any how, I’ve set myself a target to raise $20,000 for diabetes education by November 14 – World Diabetes Day.

This money will be raised from sales of ‘Ezywalk’ and the new Active Kidz DVD – ‘Work It!’ (if you’ve got kids, they’ll love it).

Here’s the thing…Ezywalk is $29.95. Work It! Is $24.95 But you can now get both for $39.95 (save $15) and $4 from every sale will be donated to Diabetes Australia.

We’re calling this the ‘Fit Family Fun’ pack. The kids will get some great fun and workout, and you (mum or dad!) will get active as well.

Have a listen to part of the 'Ezywalk' programme and 'Work It!' below.

Let your friends and family know about it.  Forward this page address to them.  It’s all for a good cause.

If you’d like to participate, you can get all the goodies here…


Thanks for watching. Seriously…get active now!
