Aquajogging this week

This Tuesday we head to Riverside Pool, (Riverside Drive, off Halifax St) for our aquajogging session.  A reminder that this session starts later than normal - at 7.15pm.

We will most probably do this in two groups, having a half hour session of aquajogging and half hour session of 'own' time in the pool, where you can swim some laps or just relax (then switching) - I'll assess this tomorrow night when we see how many of us are there.

There are changing room facilities at the Pool, so just mention you are part of the Womens Activator Group when you enter through the Reception, and then head in and get changed and ready for some fun!

See you soon,

DOMS anyone?

I hope you enjoyed Tuesday's session with Gaye and Jo and weren't too sore afterwards ;)
I certainly had a bit of 'DOMS', feeling my hamstrings after those sideways touch your toes lunges!

Just a reminder that next week's session is slightly later (start at 7.15pm).  Will email more details regarding this session early next week.

In the interim, I saw Nige today and he is going to email me through the technique drills from his session so I can forward them onto you, and Jo is going to send through some of her stretching notes.

Below is a note from Gaye:

Hi all Active Women, Thanks for being such good sports and giving a mini Bootcamp session a go on Tuesday night. Well done all of you.

There is a special offer from me in your activator booklet, if you want any more info please contact me on email gayeevans@xtra.co.nz  or txt/ph 0210671122. I also put stuff up on facebook see Boot Camp Nelson page.

This week's session

This week we return to the Botanics for our session with Jo Duncan (stretching) and Gaye Evans (outdoor training).  6.30pm.

If you can, please bring a towel or mat (the ground may be damp) for the stretch segment, and longs may be beneficial for warding off sandflys!

Wear comfortable stretchy clothing (ie nothing to restrict yourself while stretching).

See you there,

Shoe Clinic this week

This week we head to the Shoe Clinic in Bridge St for half an hour on correct support with Brett Meehan, followed by a half hour jog / walk with the NBS Nelson Striders.

See you there at 6.30pm.

Tonight's session

Remember the warm clothing and rain jacket for tonight!!

This week

This Tuesday night we return to the Botanics at 6.30pm for a talk with Nige Burgess on training principles.  We also have Greg Lineham coming to talk about race walking technique.  Then for our active section, we stay at the Botanics and will have some fun giving the technique a go, before continuing with some running technique drills with Nige.

Remember to bring some warm layers whilst the talking segment is on.

See you there!
