The LCSD has been organising the SFAD in August every year. On the event day, most of the LCSD’s fee-charging facilities are available for free use by members of the public, and various free recreation and sports programmes are offered for public participation at designated venues under the LCSD across the 18 districts. Today, a live webcast of sports demonstrations was also arranged via the event’s dedicated website and the “LCSD Plusss” Facebook page.

Transport Department monitors refund arrangements by green minibus operator after overcharging of fares

The Transport Department (TD) reported today (August 5) that the New Territories green minibus (GMB) operator which overcharged fares earlier arranged for refund to the affected passengers through various channels from today. The TD will closely monitor the refund arrangements.

GMB routes No. 501A, 501C, 501K and 501S operated by Fully Mint Limited had charged passengers fares higher than the effective fares approved by the TD from May 19 to July 26. The differential ranged from $0.3 to $1 per trip.

A spokesman for the TD said that the GMB operator and Stored Value Facility operators arranged for refund to the affected passengers from today. Overcharged fares paid by Stored Value Facilities or cash can be refunded in full:

Octopus: The overcharged fares can be refunded to the same Octopus card via the mobile application or at any of the 51 Octopus Service Points (including MTR Fanling and Sheung Shui Station) across the territory on or before April 30, 2025. The GMB operator’s staff will also assist affected passengers on refund at the Wo Mun Street Public Light Bus (PLB) Terminus in Luen Wo Hui, Fanling at designated time slots (9am to 1pm; and 6pm to 8pm daily);

Alipay and AlipayHK: The overcharged fares have been refunded directly to the relevant accounts of the affected passengers this morning; and

Cash: The affected passengers can visit Wo Mun Street PLB Terminus at designated time slots (9am to 1pm; and 6pm to 8pm daily) and collect the overcharged fares in cash on site from the GMB operator’s staff on or before September 4, 2024, after providing their name and contact information, etc.

As beneficiaries under the Government Public Transport Fare Concession Scheme for the Elderly and Eligible Persons with Disabilities were not affected by the overcharging incident, refund is not needed. The GMB operator will reimburse the Government for the overpaid subsidies under the Scheme.

For enquiries, affected passengers may call the respective hotlines or visit the mobile applications or websites of the operators: Hotline Website Fully Mint Limited 9137 7273 www.ma-minibus.com

Share your health and fitness questions for Devi Sridhar, Mariella Frostrup, and Joel Snape

Share your health and fitness questions for Devi Sridhar, Mariella Frostrup, and Joel Snape

There’s no bad time to take a more active interest in your health, but the new year, for lots of us, feels like a fresh start. Maybe you’re planning to sign up for a 10k or finally have a go at bouldering, eat a bit better or learn to swing a kettlebell. Maybe you want to keep up with your grandkids — or just be a little bit more physically prepared for whatever life throws at you.

To help things along, Guardian Live invites you to a special event with public health expert Devi Sridhar, journalist and author Mariella Frostrup, and health and fitness columnist Joel Snape. They’ll be joining the Guardian’s Today in Focus presenter Annie Kelly to discuss simple, actionable ways to stay fit and healthy as you move through the second half of life: whether that means staying strong and mobile or stressing less and sleeping better.

To make the whole event as helpful as possible, we’d love to hear from you about what you find most challenging — or confusing — when it comes to health and exercise. What should you actually be eating, and how are you going to find the time to make it? What sort of exercise is best, and how often should you be doing it? Is Pilates worth the effort — and should we really all be drinking mugfuls of piping hot creatine?

Whether your question is about exercise, eating, or general wellness, post it below and we’ll put a selection to our panel on the night.

No wonder — it is a perfect opportunity for retailers to clear inventory and capitalize on all those “New Year, New You” resolutions. <p>For an exercise novice, however, this endless sea of workout gear and gadgets can be downright overwhelming. But if that is you, do not worry! You do not need a gym’s worth of exercise equipment, a high-end <u>Garmin watch</u> or a professional athlete’s wardrobe to begin. Starting simple is often the most effective strategy for a long-term lifestyle change — not to mention that it is much easier on the wallet. <aside data-block-type="embed" data-render-type="fte" data-skip="dealsy" data-widget-type="seasonal" class="hawk-root"/> <p id="29fb30b4-1c3f-4359-839d-d56641cf6f10-2" class="paywall" aria-hidden="true">With that in mind, we rounded up a list of essential, science-backed purchases for a beginner, prioritizing ease-of-use, safety and versatility.

Appropriate footwear helps you maintain good foot health, reduces the risk of injuries and boosts your overall well-being, according to a <u>2024 review</u> published in the journal Applied Sciences. Choose shoes that are stable, comfortable to wear and suitable for your intended activities.<div class="mvp-post-ad-wrap"><span class="mvp-ad-label">Advertisement</span><div class="mvp-post-ad"> </div></div> <p>That said, do not get bogged down in premium brands and ultra-specialized shoes. Start with a quality pair of all-purpose trainers or cross-trainers. The best beginner-friendly options have a good balance of cushioning and stability for a mix of gym workouts, walking, jogging and low- to moderate-intensity aerobics. Good looks are just the cherry on top. <figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check="" id="45a4f188-27da-44f3-a610-ae73baf202b5"> <div class="image-full-width-wrapper">

id="f82f8f1c-3ea9-4195-8730-c5fdbd16b535"><strong>Workout clothing: It is all about comfort</strong> <p>Workout clothing should help you withstand the demands of intense exercise, not actively impede your attempts to get fit. Look for synthetic, moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester or spandex — they help regulate body temperature and prevent sweat from lingering on your skin, while cotton, for example, holds sweat and can cause chafing. <p>Then, focus on freedom of movement. A well-designed piece of activewear will allow for freedom of movement and not slip off or irritate your skin during intense workouts. Start with a few core pieces to build a rotation: a few tops and bottoms, several pairs of sports socks and, for women, a couple of good-quality sports bras. <p>Again, there is no need to invest in premium brands and highly specialized activewear; affordable lines from major retailers work perfectly fine. Comfort here is key — if you feel good, you are more likely to get moving.<div class="mvp-post-ad-wrap"><span class="mvp-ad-label">Advertisement</span><div class="mvp-post-ad"> </div></div>

treadmill or super-smart exercise bike, hold off on the big purchases for now. You can build remarkable strength, endurance and mobility with basic, space-savvy equipment too, and at a much lower cost. A yoga mat, adjustable dumbbells and resistance bands, for example, are very beginner-friendly, offering maximum versatility with a minimal footprint. <p>If you are not entirely sure how to use them, look up beginner-friendly home exercise video tutorials or join an online fitness class. January fitness sales are not just about physical gear — many fitness apps and services are discounted, too, or offer free taster sessions. There is also plenty of good-quality content that is entirely free of charge. <h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-fitness-trackers-a-source-of-useful-data-and-exercise-advice"><span>Fitness

id="d9cea63b-1c71-48f3-ae41-958d1e3c36d0">A well-chosen fitness tracker can provide a lot of valuable feedback and positive reinforcement in the early stages of your fitness journey. Counting your daily steps, tracking an active workout and reviewing your past activities can help you make more sense of your workouts and general progress. <p>Training by “feel” is hard for beginners, and continuous heart rate measurements provide objective data on your efforts. It helps you understand zones: are you in a moderate, fat-burning zone or pushing into high intensity? This ensures your easy days are genuinely promoting recovery and your hard days are truly effective.<div class="mvp-post-ad-wrap"><span class="mvp-ad-label">Advertisement</span><div class="mvp-post-ad"> </div></div> <p>Moreover, the goal-setting and “closing your rings” features (a visual representation of your progress towards your daily exercise goals) leverage gamification, and this in itself can be a powerful motivator. Not to mention, many fitness trackers come in handy outside of the gym or running track, too. <p>However, do not get swayed by the trends here. A basic Fitbit, Garmin or Apple Watch SE will track steps, heart rate, sleep, and active minutes just as well as the more advanced and expensive models. They also tend to be more beginner-friendly in terms of their user interfaces and the language they use to describe your fitness stats. <h3 class="article-body__section"

id="106d3f4e-74a6-4221-a7ef-55911eebc105">The allure of a shiny new machine is strong, but impulsive buys often become expensive clothes racks. Here are some tips on how to avoid costly mistakes as an exercise beginner. <p><strong>Hold off on major equipment</strong>. Do not start by buying an expensive treadmill, elliptical, or full home-gym system. Use your foundational gear or a gym trial for one month at least. If you have consistently stuck with your routine, then research what machine would best suit the activities you have genuinely enjoyed. <p><strong>Avoid over-specialization</strong>. You do not need <u>cycling shoes</u> until you are sure indoor cycling is your go-to sport. Similarly, you do not need Olympic weightlifting shoes for general strength training. Let your sustained interest guide niche purchases, not the other way around.<div class="mvp-post-ad-wrap"><span class="mvp-ad-label">Advertisement</span><div class="mvp-post-ad"> </div></div> <p><strong>Beware of fads and “quick fix” gadgets.</strong> If a product promises insane results with minimal effort, it is likely selling a fantasy. Sustainable fitness is built on consistent effort, not electrical muscle stimulators, ab belts or dodgy supplements. Stick to the good-old healthy diet and regular workouts, and you will be primed for success in 2026. <h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-the-bottom-line"><span>The bottom line</span></h3> <p id="1b7d901f-13cc-42bc-816b-747ba86eaedb">The goal of your initial purchases is not to equip a pro athlete from the get-go, but to minimize barriers to exercise and help you establish healthy habits. Every item should make it easier to say “yes” to your workout and harder to make an excuse. <p>This New Year, invest first in the basics that support consistency. Let your proven dedication over weeks and months, not your initial January enthusiasm, guide your future investments. Your journey starts not with the fanciest gear, but with the first step taken in the right shoes. <p>We hope that our list will help you do just that. </div> <div class="mvp-post-ad-wrap"><span
