Free exercise programme for post-menopausal women
There is currently an exciting opportunity for post-menopausal women to take part in a 3 months mini-trampoline exercise programme! This research is going to examine how a 3-months mini-trampoline exercise programme can improve overall fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning in older healthy women.
We are currently looking for post-menopausal women between the ages of 50-69 years old. The study will be carried out at Lower Hutt and Wellington locations. It involves three assessments testing physcial fitness, bone density, and pelvic floor muscle functioning (up to 1 hours for each assessment). You will also be able to take part in a 3 month mini-trampoline exercise programme within a group of 6 people. Participants will receive up to $100 in travel vouchers for taking part in the study.
For more information, or if you are interested in taking part, please contact me directly through a message here of through an email to: A.Fricke@massey.ac.nz!
Thanks

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
