FINANCE AVAILABLE TRADES WELCOME Weight Loss - Pain Relief Life member for King’s Empire vet

Max Lost 19KG at Body Buzz and gets pain relief in 10 weeks Back and neck pain gone I had a mate who was overweight with a bad knee who couldn’t exercise. So, he decided to try Body Buzz instead, and it worked for him. Even then I was still a bit sceptical, but I thought I would give it a shot anyway. I was always stiff and sore when I got out of bed and I would go to a chiropractor once a month to get relief, but it never lasted long. Once you get in your 50’s you start to think that all that stiffness and pain is because you are getting old but now I see it doesn’t have to be that way. After using the machines at Body Buzz and improving my nutrition, my stiff neck and whole body freed up. I was painless again, just like a teenager. I can’t believe it really!

Te Awamutu Sports used their get out of jail free card this week bumbling their way to a tryless 9-6 win over Hinuera in Waikato championship rugby. In doing so, the visitors secured the NZ Forest Products Trophy for the second year at Hinuera on Saturday for topping the championship round-robin. In a game buried beneath a suffocating penalty count, neither team was able to get any significant momentum. It was the hosts who looked more up to the task, throwing Sports off their hit and run game and making them roll up their sleeves and get into the grind. Sports, however, failed to respond in kind. While they showed moments of flair, they buckled under the weight of their own mistakes and ill discipline.
