NO NEED TO DIE ON KOKODA TRACK

It is time to change the subject. One of the key aspects of Positive Living is regular daily exercise. Young men and women and older ones can jog, play netball or basketball, touch football, tennis or squash.

As we get older, our exercise needs to be a little more gentle and sedate. Older men and women can ride a bicycle in the part or go for long walks.

One exercise regime that is becoming popular is trekking with the Kokoda Track leading the field. It is an arduous trek over 96 kms of steep mountains and equally steep slopes.

Over recent years, there have been deaths on the track through heart attack and dehydration. Trekkers can lessen the chances of death by taking care.

Adequate preparation is needed before the trek. A doctor’s examination is needed. On the track, the trekkers should move carefully without overstretching the body resources.

Take care on the steep slopes. Drink plenty of clean creek water. Take a certain amount of salts. Do not think it is a race where there is a prize for coming first. There is no prize for lying dead in a helicopter extraction.

As well as the blog Family Positive Living, I have another blog Briefings for Kokoda Trekkers. Please do the right thing by your family and take the right precautions if you plan to trek Kokoda.

There have been many families trek. Brothers and sons in law have trekked. So too a man with his daughter in law. It is good to travel with a buddy or two. Travelling in a football team is even better.
