Our Arklife health and wellness coach, Sarah from FitCulture, shares her thoughts on the benefits of strength training for your physical and mental health.

When it comes to working out, there are many different types of exercises you can do to improve your fitness levels. One type that you might be overlooking is strength training. Strength training involves lifting weights, using resistance bands or doing body weight exercises to build muscle strength and endurance. Below are the detailed benefits of adding strength training to your fitness routine.

 

Physical Benefits

Increased Muscle Strength: Strength training can help increase your muscle strength and endurance, which can lead to improved performance in other types of exercises and daily activities.

Improved Body Composition: Strength training can help reduce body fat, increase muscle mass and improve overall body composition.

Better Bone Health: Strength training can help increase bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Improved Balance and Coordination: Strength training can improve your balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and injuries.

Reduces the risk of injury: By building strength and muscle mass, you can also reduce your risk of injury, especially in activities that require physical exertion.

Improves posture: Strength training can also help to improve your posture by strengthening the muscles that support your spine.

 

Mental Benefits

Boosts confidence: When you start to see the results of your strength training, it can boost your confidence and self-esteem. You'll feel stronger, more capable and more empowered.

Reduces stress and anxiety: Exercise is a proven stress-reliever, and strength training is no exception. By focusing on your workout and pushing yourself to lift heavier weights, you can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood.

Increases mental toughness: Strength training can also help to increase your mental toughness and resilience. By pushing yourself to lift heavier weights and overcome physical challenges, you'll develop a sense of mental toughness that can translate to other areas of your life.

Improves cognitive function: Research has shown that strength training can also improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of cognitive decline as we age.

 

Strength training offers many physical and mental benefits that can help improve your overall health and wellbeing. By incorporating strength training into your fitness routine, you can build muscle strength and endurance, improve body composition, reduce stress and anxiety and increase self-confidence.

Apartment living with a four-legged friend is filled with wagging tails, cosy cuddles and shared city scape views. In this guide, we'll explore the ins and outs of caring for your canine companion in an apartment setting, ensuring a happy life for both you and your furry friend.

 

1. Space optimisation for furry friends

Discover the art of maximising your apartment space for your pet. Selecting the right-sized dog bed is critical, as is creating designated feeding and play areas to make the most of your living space.

 

2. Daily walks and exercise: a city dog's delight

Living in an apartment doesn't mean sacrificing exercise. It creates an opportunity for daily walks, exploring nearby parks and finding creative ways to keep your dog active and entertained, even within the confines of city living.

 

3. Nutrition matters: crafting a balanced canine diet

Explore the world of canine nutrition, tailoring your dog's diet to apartment living. Portion control and high-quality dog food are important, as are healthy treats and a balanced feeding routine.

 

4. Bathroom breaks and apartment potty training

Navigate the challenges of potty training in an apartment by establishing a bathroom routine, utilising indoor potty options and discovering effective methods to keep accidents at bay to maintain a clean living space.

 

5. Mind games and enrichment activities

Engage your dog's intellect with mental stimulation. Explore puzzle toys, interactive games and DIY enrichment activities that keep your pup's mind sharp, avoid boredom and foster a happy and well-adjusted companion.

 

6. Neighbourly manners: canine etiquette in shared spaces

Be a considerate neighbour by instilling good manners. Focus on proper leash etiquette, minimise barking and respect common areas to ensure a positive relationship with fellow residents.

 

7. Pet-friendly amenities and services

Choose a building with pet-friendly amenities, such as Arklife Robertson Lane’s on-site dog potty station and DIY dog wash.

 

8. Regular vet visits and health check-ups

Prioritise your dog's health with regular veterinary check-ups. The combination of vaccinations and preventive care will keep your canine companion in optimal health and ensure a long and happy life together.
 

Caring for your dog in an apartment is a rewarding experience that can deepen the bond between pet and owner. With a blend of love, attention and city-savvy planning, you can create a paw-sitively perfect environment for your canine companion to thrive in the heart of urban living. Embrace the wagging tails and joyful barks and enjoy the journey of apartment living with your furry friend.

A famous US Navy Seal once said “If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day”, that in turn will set you up for your next task – your early morning workout.

 

Routine is an overused term that some people relish and others dread. Regardless of your preference, routine forms the building blocks of success for starting your health and wellness and training. We’ve identified four key elements that will help you kickstart a successful fitness regime.
 

Nail the Small Things

To start a habit and set yourself up for success, you should build your exercise routine brick by brick. Progressively achievable rather than progressively impossible should be the mantra that makes sure every component of your routine contributes to your goal; whether that is getting out of bed early to go for a run, to the gym or for a swim. Every little action counts (including making your bed) and the less you have to think about it the more likely you are to stick to the routine.
 

Take pride in what you do

Find a sense of purpose with every small step you take, whether it be your diet or exercise. This creates the feeling that you have a degree of control through forming a positive habit and making progress towards your health and wellness goals.
 

Plan your steps

Like anything, it is easy to get carried away with goal setting and the ‘what ifs’. Setting yourself a big, massive goal is great, but just make sure you also identify smaller, readily achievable targets on your way. The journey needs to be as enjoyable as the objective itself.

 
Align with your goals

Think about your actions with your diet, exercise and recovery in the context of alignment with your overall goals. To achieve your overall goals, it is critical that your exercise, diet and recovery actions align themselves with that overarching objective.

 

Good luck and don’t forget to make the bed.

Sleep is a big part of rest and recovery. Obtaining healthy sleep is vital for your physical and mental health, productivity and overall quality of life.

Sleep is essential for our biological life function. While we sleep, many important functions take place that help the body recover and repair, support brain development, cardiac function and body metabolism, as well as enhance learning capability, improve memory and enhance your mood.

Your central nervous system is the main information highway of your body. Sleep is necessary to keep it functioning properly. Cortisol is the primary stress hormone in our body, which is responsible for increasing sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhancing your brain’s use of glucose and increasing the availability of substances that repair tissues. Cortisol also curbs functions that would be nonessential or harmful in a fight-or-flight situation. Sleep deprivation leads to elevated levels of cortisol. To heal and feel physically and mentally strong, you need to keep that stress hormone at an optimal level.

Long-term effects of sleep deprivation are real. Our sleep affects almost every tissue in our body, including our growth and stress hormones, our immune system, appetite, breathing, blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Research shows that lack of sleep increases the risk for obesity, heart disease and infections.

Long-term effects of sleep deprivation are real. Our sleep affects almost every tissue in our body, including our growth and stress hormones, our immune system, appetite, breathing, blood pressure and cardiovascular health.

These reasons prove that your sleep hygiene is critical to your health. So, what is sleep hygiene? It is the system that supports your bedroom environment and daily routine to promote consistent, uninterrupted sleep. Ideal sleep hygiene consists of the following:

  • A relaxing pre-bedtime routine with limited screen time to minimise exposure to blue lights
  • Healthy daytime habits, including nutrition and exercise
  • A stable sleep schedule
  • A comfortable room that is free of disruptions

 

Everyone’s sleep hygiene is different. It is critical to tailor hygiene practices to your own unique needs. As you’re developing your sleep practice, it’s helpful to apply positive habits that ensure sound sleep and make you feel well rested. These habits can be as simple as limiting caffeine after 12pm. Six hours after caffeine is consumed, half of it is still in your body. It can take up to ten hours to completely clear caffeine from your bloodstream.

We encourage you to consider your sleep hygiene and develop a habit or system that works for you to enable a healthy sleep cycle and support your journey to optimal health.

Meet Arklife’s Resident Services team

At the heart of Arklife communities is our Resident Services team.

Unlike traditional apartments for rent, Arklife communities are designed to enhance the lifestyle of our residents. With a range of purpose-built, functional amenity, recreation areas and resident services to make your day more convenient, Robertson Lane takes renting to a new level.

What really sets Robertson Lane apart from other apartments for rent in Fortitude Valley is our curated resident services. Similar to a hotel experience, Arklife offers a range of unique and personalised services including a resident app, pet washing bay and secure parcel delivery, as well as events and partnerships.

The Arklife experience wouldn’t be possible without Chadwick Harding and Caitlin Garland, the friendly faces behind our Resident Services team. Filled with knowledge and enthusiasm, Chad and Caitlin are passionate about creating an experience unlike anything else.

Chad brings experience and passion

 

With more than 10 years’ experience managing residential communities, Chad is no stranger to serviced apartments in Brisbane. His background in construction means he has a hands-on, practial approach to delivering exceptional customer service and resident services. As the Resident General Manager, Chad is responsible for community and operations of Robertson Lane. Chad is passionate about partnering with community organisations to provide unique experiences and opportunities that enhance residents’ lives.

“Part of my role at Arklife is to establish partnerships and initiatives that benefit our residents and the Robertson Lane community,” Chad said.

“Currently I’m liaising with a not-for-profit organisation on a really exciting partnership that will enable residents to make a real difference to the environment and reduce our overall carbon footprint, which is something that Arklife is passionate about.”

Chad strives to create a community that residents can be proud to belong to. He is renowned for his extensive charity work throughout the years, having so far raised more than $42,000 for R U OK? Day through various events. Chad’s personal enthusiasm for philanthropy will continue to thrive in his role at Arklife.

“I believe it’s important that we support charities and local businesses that align with our values, which is why I am always on the hunt for new ways to make an impact.”

Outside the office, Chad is a proud Brisbane Lions fan who enjoys keeping active.  

Caitlin’s resident-centric approach

 

From leading tours across Europe and the USA to managing luxury hotels in regional NSW for the past eight years, Arklife’s Resident Services Manager, Caitlin Garland, really can do it all.

A Guinness World Record holder and self-professed dog lover, Caitlin brings her passion for living life to the fullest to the team at Arklife where she curates and delivers resident services and leasing initiatives at Robertson Lane.

“With everything I do, I’m always striving to create a memorable experience for Arklife residents, from the moment they enquire to when they inspect an apartment and beyond,” Caitlin said.

“My focus right now is on ensuring new residents have a simple move-in process and that every step of the way they have all the information they need, and have a really great time of course!”

Caitlin’s bubbly and enthusiastic nature has not gone unnoticed. In fact, one couple was so happy with Caitlin’s service that they dropped off a beautiful gift of champagne and flowers after finding out their application had been approved to say thank you for ‘changing our lives’!

 

As Arklife begins to come to life with the very first residents securing their apartments, Caitlin will also be heavily involved in organising regular in-house events for residents. She will be the ‘go-to’ person for day-to-day activities and any questions that residents have.

Why everyone should experience living in Fortitude Valley

 

There are not many places as unique as Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley.
 

The social heart of Brisbane, Fortitude Valley combines all of the city’s best bars and clubs with a diverse line-up of live music venues, restaurants and cafes, boutique shopping, art and culture.

 

The Valley is also home to many commercial office spaces with some of Brisbane’s largest employers positioned here, making it a popular employment hub.

 

Less than 2km to the CBD, 2km to New Farm Park and Roma Street Parklands, 1km to Howard Smith Wharves and 500 metres to James Street, Fortitude Valley is easily one of Brisbane’s most walkable neighbourhoods, meaning residents can ditch the car and opt to walk or catch public transport instead.

 

All of these elements combined make this the ideal suburb to call home if you’re looking for a laid back, well-connected and social lifestyle.

 

More than meets the eye

 

Although there’s plenty to do in Fortitude Valley, where this neighbourhood really shines is in its hidden laneways!

 

Brisbane is fast becoming a laneway city with hidden gems popping up in the CBD, Fortitude Valley and South Brisbane.

 

Whether you’re a foodie, shopaholic or just looking for a great coffee, there’s a laneway for everything in Fortitude Valley!

  • California Lane. Named after one of Brisbane’s original cafes in the 1950s, California Lane (found on McLachlan St) boasts a nostalgic vibe with neon signs, pastel walls and artwork – perfect for selfies. The newest laneway on the scene, California Lane features some big brands including Fat Dumpling and New York Slice, as well as several local cafes and office tenants.
  • Bakery Lane. Heritage buildings meet creativity on Bakery Lane. Home to restaurants, cafes, bars and innovative businesses, you’re guaranteed to always see a diverse mix of people at Bakery Lane.
