Bec first began her association with Fitness 4 U in 2004 when she attended our Group Boxing & Boot Camp sessions. Realising Bec had the potential to become a great fitness trainer we encouraged her to undetake the necessary studies to be a Personal Trainer. The rest as they say is history. Bec conducts our 5.30am Tues & Fri Group Training sessions at Coorparoo.

In her other life Bec is an English teacher of some note, she's an avid reader, devoted arthouse cinema goer & Bikram enthusiast. Fitness has played a significant role in Bec's life & she still remembers her Cindy Crawford aerobics craze! Nowadays, Bec tries to blend physical pursuits with altruism. In 2010 she trekked in Peru & worked in a remote community and, in 2011 participated in the Kokoda Challenge. 

We are pleased to advise that we’ve added 3 new GroupTraining sessions to our weekly schedule:

Mon 5.45am - Jindalee Boat Ramp Park, Jindalee (meet playground)
Thurs 5.30am -  Langlands Park, Stones Corner (meet end of Panitya St)
Sat 7.00am - Orleigh Park, West End (meet opp Morry St)

This month our challenge is to choose an activity that you want to be better at and go about making improvements.

If it's running (and lets face it, most of the time it is), set yourself some intervals, jog for a bit, speed it up for a bit, keep running when you feel you need to stop, run up a hill-make it harder. When the trainer says sprint, sprint!

Where strength is concerned, choose a heavier weight or resistance band. Do a couple of push ups on your toes. It doesn't matter if you need to swap to a lighter weight or drop to your knees, improvements won't come without challenging your body.

Embrace the words "10 seconds to go" - don't stop! Don't ignore the trainer's instructions, when they offer a harder option, take them up on it, that way your muscles won't know what to expect and you will see the results you are trying to achieve.

Let's go back to basics and go through the key training points of performing a crunch. The same basics apply to most of the abdominal exercises we perform during our sessions.

Decription
Isolation exercise involving flexion/ extension of vertebral column

 DescriptionDescriptionDescDeMMuscles used/ Joint Actions
Hip flexors, rectus abdominis

Key Training Points

• Feet firm on floor unless raised (alt.-or on a raised bench)
• Knees bent at 45 degrees
• Low back in neutral position
• Variable hand/ arm position
• Lift shoulder blades off floor
• Lift with the chest
• Keep head in line with trunk
• Roll ribs towards hips

Training Errors

• Pulling head up with hands

Eating regularly throughout the day is important and snacking between meals can help keep you going until the next meal or give you the energy required to get through a training session. The problem with snacking lies in what we eat and how much we eat, something we need to be more mindful of.

Ways to avoid the vending machine and fundraising chocolates:

• Be organised
• Pack your lunch the night before
• Keep nutritious snacks on hand

Healthy snack ideas:

• Wholegrain crackers with tomato and low fat cheese
• Peanut butter on wholemeal toast
• Plain popcorn
• Fruit salad
• Veggie sticks with hummus or yoghurt dip
• Raisin toast
• Tub of yoghurt and a piece of fruit
• Fruit smoothie with low fat milk

A whole new round of Brisbane City Council sessions start in April, with a session sure to fit your schedule. Whether you're looking for an activity to do with the kids, or a new morning session for you and a friend, there is plenty of variety and choices for everyone.

“The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.”
~ Oprah Winfrey

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Training alongside someone else helps you push that little bit harder, lift that heavier weight, run just that little bit faster and do just one more rep.

Having a different training buddy every session helps to challenge you in all sorts of ways. Once you join the group the extra motivation of knowing everyone &  being challenged if you miss a session or just hearing from other people about what you missed will ensure you become a regular.

With three additional sessions across Brisbane (see below) there really is no excuse.

Check out our session times & join us whenever you can. Cost is $110.00 for 10 sessions or $15.00 a session. 10 session cards may be used for both Group Boxing and Group Training sessions.

Reap the many benefits that comes from boxing.
