School students and community members this week had the chance to hear from The Biggest Loser Australia trainer and author Tiffiny Hall during her visit to CQUniversity Rockhampton, where she advocated health and fitness among young Australians.

Many will recognise Tiffiny as the ‘ninja-inspired' warrior in the Australian hit series of The Biggest Loser, or as a TV Gladiator.

She's also touring to promote her new children's fiction novel ‘White Ninja' - a story which uncovers the world and legend of martial arts, as well inspiring self-confidence in young readers.

Tiffiny hosted a series of interactive forums to discuss how a healthy attitude to eating well and regular exercise can transform into other areas of life.

Due to unforseen circumstances, Tiffiny Hall is no longer able to present at the Mackay Campus. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

She stressed that bad eating habits could take many years off a person's lifespan, giving them a 'health age' much older than their age in years.

"Try to be a healthy ninja 80 per cent of the time and a naughty ninja 20 per cent of the time," she says.

Tiffiny Hall's new book White Ninja is on sale through the CQUniversity Bookshop. Online-orders are also welcome at THIS LINK .
