SUMMER BAY’S HOT BODIES!
KAWAKAWA FOX-REO
For Kawakawa (Nikau), exercise is all about preserving his mental health. “It really helps my mental state and keeps me on the straight and narrow. If I don’t train, I tend to feel a bit down,” he explains. While it seems the whole of the
HAA cast love to work out together, ‘Kawa’, as his co-stars call him, isn’t interested. “They’re all way fitter than I am,” he jokes. As for his character, the actor says he has big hopes for Nikau this season. “I would love to see more cultural content come through into the show. Being a Maori male myself, I’m proud of who I am and want to welcome as many people around the world as possible into this world, which I think is so rich and has so much to offer the world.”
EMILY WEIR
If two years of lockdowns and change has taught Emily (Mackenzie) anything, it’s that her body is capable of so much. “The last few years have taught me to appreciate my health and wellness. The body is an amazing thing and looking after it is super important,” she says. In doing so, Emily reveals she likes to change up her routines. “I like to mix workouts up, but generally I always do about an hour of cardio and then half an hour of weight training. I also love yoga, and try to stretch and stay aligned as much as I can,” she continues. Reaching a point of feeling her best is all about self-love for the actress. “I feel most attractive when I’m well rested and energetic, and making decisions based off self-love and healthy self-talk.”
NICHOLAS CARTWRIGHT
Simplicity is key for Nicholas (Cash) who reveals he prioritises eating high-protein meals to keep his washboard abs in check. “I intermittent fast every day, so when I’m eating, I like to have one healthy meal and one meal of literally whatever I want a day,” he explains. “I’m vegetarian, so I’ve got to make sure I hit some good plant-based protein every day.” As for a cheat meal, nothing compares to ice-cream. “I go to the servo down the road and get a tub of Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream and a lamington, bash them together and eat the whole thing,” he laughs.
