Published on 13 September, 2012 

School students and community members will get the chance to hear from The Biggest Loser Australia trainer and author Tiffiny Hall when she visits the region to advocate health and fitness among young Australians.

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

Tiffiny Hall will visit Mackay and Rockhampton this month. Photo credit: Peter CollieTiffiny is travelling to Rockhampton and Mackay to promote her recently released 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 says she is looking forward to hosting a fun and interactive forum with students and community to discuss how a healthy attitude to eating well and regular exercise can transform into other areas of life.

 "You have to find the right ‘fit' for you - the type of exercise you love doesn't feel like exercise at all," she says.

"Some love gym, running, dance, group fitness. Whatever it is just make sure you are consistent and enjoy it."

"Also try to be a health ninja 80 per cent of the time and a naughty ninja 20 per cent of the time."

Tiffiny is presenting sessions at CQUniversity Rockhampton and Mackay for students in Years 4 to 8 on Wednesday, September 19 (Rockhampton) and Thursday, September 20 (Mackay), at 11.30am and 1.30pm.

A community session will be held at 6pm at each location, open to members of the public and parents (particularly those with children aged 9 - 13 years).

RSVP is a must, as seats are strictly limited. Please advise which session you wish to attend by emailing events@cqu.edu.au or phone 49407406.
