Have you seen the movie "The Bucket List?" It's about two men who decide to make a list of the things they would like to do before they die.  I'm sure that we all have our own personal bucket list, which for many of us includes going on adventure holidays in popular as well as remote areas of the world. 

Fitness 4 U is pleased to endorse Icon Adventures who specialise in organising action-packed adventure holidays. Why not make your personal fitness goal to tackle the great walking trails of the world? You don't need to be an experieced adventurer, just adventurous! Each tour is led by an experienced Australian host & guided by professional locals. Upcoming 2012 Adventures include:  

Kokoda: Jun 23, Jul 5, Aug 18
French Pyrenees: Jul 8
West Papua: 30 Jul
Kilimanjaro: Aug 18
Ethiopia: Nov 12

We'd love to organise a Fitness 4 U group to walk the Kokoda Trail. For further information about any of these adventure holidays visit: www.iconadventres.com or call Laura (07) 3162 8500


Fitness 4U Newsletter Nov/Dec Boot Camps - Last before Christmas
     

It's hard to believe that we're nearly at the end of another year & that our next round of Boot Camps will be our last for 2012.

With the advent of the Christmas & New Year holidays it's inevitable that most of us will eat & drink a little more than normal & consequently gain an extra kilo or two. Rather than succumb to the inevitable why not take pre-emptive action & bank some calorie credits by signing up to one of our Nov-Dec Boot Camps? You'll be able to eat that Christmas pudding with a clear conscience. See session details below.

Fitness 4U Newsletter Trainer Profile - Dena
     

November's Trainer's profile is our ageless Dena, who has been passionate about fitness for over 20 years. Dena loves training in the Great Outdoors & receives great pleasure in instructing clients & seeing them improve their fitness.

Dena regards fitness as a lifestyle choice & believes that when we exercise regularly it becomes an automatic part of our life. "Sure you may feel out of your comfort zone when doing some exercises," says Dena, "but the short-term pain is well worth the long-term results".

Setting regular fitness goals is important to Dena. Recently she participated in & finished her first half-marathon which gave her a real sense of achievement. Dena's exercise goal for 2012 is to participate in the Oxfam Trail walk.

Dena runs our Boot Camp sessions at Kalinga.

Fitness 4U Newsletter Exercise of the Month - Boxing
     

Fitness 4 U conducts several boxing sessions a week & there's a very good reason for that. Arguably there's no better combined cardio & strength exercise than boxing. 

Weight loss, increased agility & coordination, fat-burning, muscle tone, stress relief & greater fitness all result from boxing. Boxing is not all about arms; it's  cardio workout for the whole body. Add some kicking & you'll also be toning your butt, legs & abs. There's no need to worry about bulking up, boxing is highly repetitive so you'll see tone rather than building muscle. Working at high intensity you can expect to burn well in excess of 2,100 kj in a one-hour work-out.

We often get bike-fit & run-ft people come to our boxing sessions but many of them, after a few minutes of boxing are totally spent because they are not used to that type of intensive training.

So what are you waiting for? Put on some boxing gloves, turn up the Rocky music & burn fat big time.
