Asthma, COPD, emphysema, bronchitis - and exercise - are you kidding?!
People who live with these troubling breathing issues find it uncomfortable and stressful to try to do exercise - but here at the 'Better Breathers' Classes we know how it feels but we love our exercise classes. There's a class every week that you CAN do, and you will really enjoy it. We all breathe, we cough and splutter, laugh and share stories and a cuppa after our exercise circuit class. Give it a go. Check out the timetable here - its cheap, and awesome to know you can exercise with lungs that don't always feel the way you'd like!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
