:get healthy It's in the bag Ever wondered what it would be like to have a top chef manage your menus night after night? Now three female powerhouses have developed a food service that does just that. MasterChef 2011 winner, Nadia Lim, has joined forces with 2012 Businesswoman of the Year, Cecilia Robinson, and prominent New Zealand business leader, Theresa Gattung, to cook up a new home delivery service that will revolutionise the way we cook and eat at home. My Food Bag is a weekly service delivering meal kits comprising quality, free range ingredients, together with nutritious seasonal recipes. All recipes are designed by Nadia Lim who is developing a strong reputation for being at the forefront of healthy eating in New Zealand. Each bag contains ingredients for dinners that are simple to prepare, big on flavour, healthy and delicious. www.myfoodbag.co.nz The boom of low-cost gyms The goal of launching a low-cost gym such as Anytime Fitness, Snap and Jetts is to create an environment where no one is shy about turning up. These are all no-fuss 24 hour gyms with no receptionists, cafes, saunas, hairdryers or crèches, just rooms full of exercise equipment instead. These types of gyms are proving to be very popular with thousands of people joining up to them in the past two and a half years and over 50 new facilities being built in that time.

This fun yet intense workout has been designed so that people of all ages, sizes and cultures can do it and love it. "Sweat the alphabet and dance the digits" is the tagline from their website and they mean it. Participants draw numbers and letters with their feet while performing an intense cardio workout. BOKWA is different to other workouts because counting steps is not required, instead instructors encourage participants to simply feel the music and move freely to the beat. Popular songs are chosen for the workout that are energising and addictive and appeal to a global audience. Paul Mavi, international fitness personality, developed BOKWA through drumming into his native South African roots as a dancer and musician. "BO" represents light boxing and "KWA" represents the cultural and traditional dance, Kwaito. It has been described as a mixture of capoeira, kickboxing, step, and South African war dance. It has been proven that people doing BOKWA can burn up to 1200 calories in one workout. The trademarked name has spread worldwide with certified instructors in many countries including New Zealand.
