New COMBAT fitness class

Barbs from Cambridge

Combat class is a workout that blends combat-inspired moves with dance and cardio, all set to loud, feel-good music đŸŽ¶đŸ’„
Here’s what it’s like:
Workout style: A mix of boxing, kickboxing, martial-arts strikes, and athletic footwork, combined with rhythmic dance-style movements.

Intensity: At your own pace & sweaty. You’ll throw punches, kicks, knees, and combos while constantly moving—great for cardio and calorie burn.
Equipment: Usually no contact and minimal equipment. Some classes use light gloves or glow sticks, but it’s mostly bodyweight.
Skill level: Beginner-friendly. Moves are simple and repeatable, so you can follow along even if you’ve never done combat training.
Benefits: Improves fitness, coordination, strength, stamina, and stress relief—plus it’s a massive mood boost.
Vibe: Empowering, fun, and a little fierce. You feel like you’re dancing and fighting at the same time.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
