Kick Bike

Arguably the Best Aerobic Workout Available!

Developed as a cross-training device for elite Nordic athletes 9 years ago, its fusion of acute performance and European style encourages easy transition from gentle broad-walk gliding, to a low impact, full-on total body, aerobic workout. It's about spirited people, a funky motion and a liberating sensation. Even if your workout is the gentle broad-walk stroll, you can still expect to stretch your hamstring, strengthen and tone your quadriceps and calf muscles, as well as trim down and firm up your thighs and buttocks! You will also strengthen your diagonal lower abdominals, lower back and shoulders. Not bad results from just having a bit of fun.

Receive A FREE personal training session with every Kickbike!*

Short and Sweet: Christmas Pudding!

Serves 10 people

Ingredients

|250g Australian Butter|1 cup castor sugar|5 eggs|2 teaspoons vanilla essence|1 1/2 cups plain flour|1/2 teaspoon baking soda|3 cups fresh breadcrumbs|1 1/2 cups firmly packed chopped raisins|1 1/2 cups sultanas|1 cup currants|1 1/2 cups chopped dates|1/2 cup mixed peel|1/2 cup chopped glace cherries|1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon|1/2 cup chopped blanched almonds|BRANDY BUTTER|125g Australian Butter, extra|1 cup castor sugar, extra|2 tablespoons brandy|1 teaspoon vanilla essence|few drops fresh lemon juice|1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, extra

Method
Soak a pudding cloth in warm water. Ring out excess water and sprinkle one side with flour. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla essence. Sift flour, salt and soda together and fold into mixture. Mix in breadcrumbs, fruits, cinnamon and almonds. Place the pudding mixture in the centre of the prepared cloth (on the floured side). Pull cloth firmly around mixture and secure with string. Boil, covered in plenty of boiling water, for 4 hours, taking care to replace with boiling water as it evaporates (place an upside down plate in the base of the pot so the pudding doesn't touch the bottom). When storing, hang pudding in a dry place. Reboil pudding in cloth for 1 hour before serving. Remove cloth, place on serving platter and serve with brandy butter (see below).|Brandy Butter - Cream butter and sugar together. Gradually blend in remaining ingredients. Spoon into a serving dish. Cover and refrigerate until required.

Laughter is the best medicine!

The Govinator

Jean Claude Van Dam, Steven Segal, and Arnold Schwarzenagger all decide to go out trick-or-treating as musical composers for Halloween. They go into a costume store and look for masks. Jean Claude sees a costume that he likes and says, "I think I'll go as Beethoven." Steven Segal sees a costume that grabs his attention and says, "I'll be Mozart." Arnold had a tough time finding a costume that he liked, but he eventually found one that appeased his interest. He picks up a costume and said, "I'll be Bach."
