Welcome and Congratulations

You made a decision to commit for the next 6 weeks to this special program with the idea that you'd like to improve your fitness.

Now you need to make a specific goal - what you want to achieve at the end of this 6 weeks - it must mean something to YOU.

This program is based on interval training - high intensity short burst of activity with a recovery rest between.

Each week will be a different session - we are aiming to stress your body and help it adjust to the new exercise work load.

Each week you are expected to do one short TEN minute session on your own.  YOU are developing the motivation to push yourself .  This is not a long session so YOU can find time to do it.

  • windtrainer - stationary bike - warm-up - ride 1min fast - 1 min slow - repeat 5X
  • skipping rope - warm-up - skip for 1 min - walk rest 1min - repeat 5X
  • step machine - warm-up - step fast n shallow for 1 min - step deep n slow for 1 min - repeat 5X
  • fisher street - warm-up - from the park's drive way - sprint 30secs - walk back down/recovery - repeat 5X
  • fisher street alternative - warm-up - walk briskly from drive way to the top - walk back down -repeat 5X
  • swimming - warm -up - swim fast for 25m - swim slow for 25m - repeat 5X
  • if you have a fitness DVD with a 10min high intensity workout - do this
  • using 3-4kg handweights - walk intervals - 30m- 50m walk with weights in hands at your sides - put the weights down -  modified plank for 30sec or 6 bridges-  repeat 5X
  • stepbox - step for 1 minute - side planks for 1 minute - repeat 5X
Lacking motivation when it comes time to do your alone session - go and look at your goal that you have posted on your fridge.  Remember what you are aiming to achieve!  You will feel energised and satisfied after you have done your session.
