The employees at mbar ltd and Guthrie Bowron are all fired up after reaching the half way point of the mbar 12 week fitness challenge — a fund raiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Association Fund Breath4CF. The fitness programmes were individually set by Stef Dowie of Xtreme Nutrition. A wellness coach, personal trainer and body consultant, she is ensuring that participants remain safe whilst undergoing exercise that she prescribes. ‘‘Regular exercise has many health benefits,’’ she says. ‘‘Not just for the individuals but for the companies as well.’’ Miss Dowie and many of the participants have contact with children with Cystic Fibrosis which is what inspired the fund- raising side of the challenge. The challenge is not intended to be a one off but an annual event with a goal of reaching $10,000 in funds for Breath4CF. Using the fundraise online site every single dollar raised will be used to ensure people with Cystic Fibrosis lead a physically active life, something that is essential to preserve their lungs.
