After all the chocolate we’ve eaten over Easter, there’s no better time to get exercising.

So for the last week of the Get Your Body Right series, we’ve created a special calendar to download and pop on the fridge.

It details two weeks’ worth of expert workouts you can do on repeat. Even if you haven’t been following the series from week one, it’s easy to pick it up now.

Anthony Dowsley - who has shared updates with you throughout each instalment - says he has lost 3kg by participating.

Meanwhile reader Jamie Hull has told of how he also reduced his weight and is on a mission to keep going.

Please get in touch with how you went at [email protected]. We’d love to hear!

Today, we also have a must-read investigation into how much health fund premiums have risen.

National social affairs reporter Julie Cross reveals that some people are being slugged 18 per cent more.

You can also use this online calculator to find the best deal — and it's worth it as there's hundreds of dollars difference between the cheapest and most expensive products.

Have a great week.
