April 2012 news: The days
are getting shorter and the signs of
winter are out there. It is
the time of year we need to dig deep
into the motivation bank and keep
active and training over the colder
months. Take the time to plan
ahead for at least 12 months, set
yourself some event goals, some
challenge goals etc and then break
the plan down into
monthly/weekly/daily steps so you
can keep going forward. Think
about what will work for you -
challenge friends and family to join
you, join a gym, take on a
coach/personal trainer (if you
need info on trainers email me at
info@womenstri.co.nz
as we have a network of fantastic
qualified registered trainers
available in Christchurch!),
come along to any of our fun
training sessions -
Run/Walk,
Swimming and
Cycling. Also find a way
to measure your small step
achievements and reward yourself
when you tick of each one.
We are running a series of
seminars over winter. A full
calendar of these will be posted
soon. Topics
include: Strength Training, Heart
Rate Monitors, Running and Cycling
analysis, Nutrition, Over training
and more.
The dates of the 2012 series will
be posted soon and will be in
November, December and January.
My challenge to you is to hit
winter with a positive attitude.
Pull on your warm clothes, make a
plan and go to it. The
personal rewards of achievement are
so worth the effort..

We had a great time last year at QEII. Take a couple of minutes to watch the fun below..
Group Training If you are lacking in motivation make a commitment to yourself
to come along at any time to some of our group training. It is so much
easier to exercise and train with others, share knowledge and advice, have a laugh and just have a break from your normal routines
(and of course coffee and cake after). Our
aim for these groups is to create a supportive training environment for woman at
any fitness level. Do not stay away because you think you are not fit
enough. We all start somewhere and the culture of all our groups is to
support and encourage each other. Each group has beginners groups.
We split into groups depending on your fitness and ability.
The full details
of each group are on each of the following pages -
