12w Running Training Group

Well done to everyone who ran on Wednesday night. We ran 6kms and the final tough effort up the bluff hill and down to the Hodgson Street dog beach was fantastic. Well done to Michele who joined us for the first time and completed the run. See you next Wednesday. Remember, everyone and anyone is welcome, so bring a friend if you want.

Rip to River training for 5km & 10km walk/run

Don't forget that every Wednesday night at 6pm, we meet at 12w for a training run for the Rip to River "fun run" which takes place on Sunday 3rd January 2010. Come along and join in with us and enjoy a leisurely run. Most runners are beginners, so don't worry about your fitness level or running ability. Come on your own or bring a friend. All are welcome. Just remember to bring a water bottle.

See you there.

Our next target is the Rip to River on Sunday 3rd January 2010 at 9am. There is a 5k and a 10km walk/run.

Pre Christmas BBQ at Rotunda

Hope to see you all at the Ocean Grove main beach BBQ rotunda (off Presidents Ave) at 6pm on Thursday 10th December for a BBQ and drinks (BYO). So that I have sufficient time to prepare our salad, there will be no exercise classes on that night!

Good luck to all our entrants in the Run Geelong 5km and 12km fun run this weekend.(Nov 22) See you there.

12w Fitness exercise circuit

The Saturday morning fitness circuit time will now be 8am. A number of the 12w Fitness exercise group and friends have also entered the "Run Geelong" 5km on Sunday 22nd November at the Geelong Esplanade Foreshore. The fun run starts at 8.15am and confirmed runners are John, Ali, Bas, Maree, Linda, Steve, Sarah Short, Sarah Remyn and Amy. We had a trial beach run last Wednesday over a 5km distance. There was a headwind on the way over but a lovely tailwind on the return leg.

Daylight Saving and Exercise Groups

Now that we are back on daylight saving time, all personal training and group sessions will meet at the 12w beach steps rather than the BBQ rotunda.

Group sessions on the beach are a great way to get some exercise and socialise with friends during recovery periods. Bring along a friend for a session at any time. I have plenty of exercise gear to cater for extra numbers.

Personal training sessions are designed for those wanting to specifically target their fitness and health as a priority. PT sessions are also a great gift idea.

A little tip for those with leg injuries..........when taking the stairs.........it's up to heaven and down to hell..........meaning when walking up stairs, your leading foot is your strong leg and when walking down stairs, your leading foot is your weaker leg........that way we maintain a stronger position of balance and stability going up and down stairs............................... you do take the stairs don't you??
