Stacey & J Sbu

Stacey Norman and J Sbu have shared their top tips for staying fit this summer.

First things first, warming up is crucial. Don't just jump into your workout. Warm up properly and specifically for the activity you're about to undertake.

“I know that you think you are a track star and you are, you absolutely are but you must warm up properly,” said Stacey.

Next, hydration is key, especially in hot climates like Durban. Ensure you stay well-hydrated, given the intense sweat sessions.

“Durban is obviously like lava. The whole of KZN is like lava.”

Plan your post-workout meals. Whether you prefer eating before or after workouts, knowing your nutrition plan can keep you energised and focused.

Allow your body to recover. Daily intense workouts aren't necessary. Your body needs time to rest and rebuild. Additionally, invest in a high-quality sunscreen to protect your skin.

“Plan a day of recovery; we don’t need to be out in the streets doing 10,000 sit-ups and push-ups every single day. Your body needs to recover,” said Stacey.

Don’t forget to invest in a good sunscreen.

“Go and buy the baby sunblock if you must!”

J Sbu's turn! Ensure you have a supportive environment. Surround yourself with people who encourage your healthy lifestyle. Avoid those tempting unhealthy habits that can derail your progress.

“You’re going to be tempted and you’re going to lose track of your progress,” said J Sbu.

Follow an appropriate diet. A well-balanced diet tailored to your fitness goals, whether it's losing weight or gaining muscle, is essential. Seek support from fitness products that align with your health objectives.

“Make sure that you are following a diet that correlates with what your objective is when it comes to your health,” he explained.

Get a trainer, if possible, to guide you through proper techniques and prevent injuries. Drink plenty of water and reduce alcohol consumption, as it can disrupt your diet and healthy lifestyle.

Educate yourself about your body and various fitness techniques. Not everyone enjoys the same types of physical activities, so find what works for you. Moderation is key, and you must ensure that your body is given sufficient rest and recovery.

That's a wrap on our top fitness tips from Stacey and J Sbu!

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing knowledge about the disease, promoting early detection, and supporting research efforts toward finding a cure.

As part of the campaign, Stacey and J Sbu took the initiative to get mammograms, underscoring how crucial early screening is for everyone.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, but it’s not just a women’s issue, men can also be affected.

Early detection plays a key role in improving outcomes, and mammography remains the most effective tool to catch breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear.

Regular screenings are recommended for women over 40, but high-risk individuals might need earlier or additional tests like ultrasounds or MRIs.

It’s important to know the warning signs, which include:

Unusual lumps or thickened breast tissue

Changes in breast size, shape or nipple position

Redness, dimpling or skin scaliness

Nipple discharge or alterations

Risk factors range from age and family history to lifestyle habits such as obesity, alcohol consumption and physical inactivity.

However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, limiting alcohol and seeking professional advice regarding hormone replacement therapy can help reduce risks.

The pink ribbon, now synonymous with breast cancer awareness, was established by Evelyn Lauder in 1993. Today, it serves as a reminder to keep raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research.

Stacey and J Sbu’s decision to get mammograms aims to break the stigma around the disease, especially among men. The message for this month and every Breast Cancer Awareness month is clear: early screening saves lives.

Stacey Norman has officially started the process of getting her driver's licence. Speaking to J Sbu and getting vulnerable on air, Stacey spoke about a traumatic incident that occurred in her youth that left her scarred.

They opened the phone lines to the people of KZN and we love love loved their responses!

In the age of online shopping, nothing seems strange anymore - until it does. An anonymous confession we came across recently left us feeling a tad bit bad for this social media user.

“Someone, please explain why my girlfriend has a missed call from an online shopping site at 1 am this morning."

Now, let’s be real, most of us have ordered clothes and other items online, but a call at 1 am is definitely not your average customer service follow-up.

We also know what happens when someone slides into your DMs - or in this case, your call log - in the dead of night.

Maybe, just maybe her delivery really did get lost on the way to the door and only the company could resolve this pressing issue… at 1am. Perhaps it’s just the latest in a long line of late-night delivery incidents

Or, could it be that the online shopping platform isn’t the culprit here, but instead, a ‘well’ disguised name in her contacts? After all, names can be stored as absolutely anything on our phones.

The fact remains, someone called in the early hours of the morning and their name was disguised. When suspicious behaviour mixes with modern technology, it doesn’t take a detective to connect the dots.

While we can't directly accuse anyone, the moral of the story is simple: always check the contact name before assuming it's about a missing package. We HIGHLY doubt any company is making those after-hours calls, there might be something more than just your next delivery going wrong.
