True Years Resolutions: Join Our Febfast Team

On Saturday we had a great group at Balmoral. There were lots of Queenscliff trainers there but it was a big group. Everyone trained so well and in more ways than one it seems Holidays are over. It got me thinking about our thoughts, plans and goals for 2012.

New Years is such a relaxing time after Christmas, then there are two birthdays in my family, including my own, and Australia Day. It is just one reason after another to have a party.

It's little wonder New Years Resolutions don't often stand the test of time. The 1st of January is such a logical time to make a change to build the life you want, but it's difficult to do when the Holiday mood prevails.... You can't even find a traffic jam in January but it's not hard to find a party! I can hardly remember a January day when I didn't finish with a drink in my hand.

Great Idea from Weight Watchers. A fresh start for 2012 and some real resolutions.So Weight Watchers have come up with a great idea: True Years Resolutions. Pick something you really want to make happen, make a change and start it from True Years or February 1.

I loved it. What a great idea. It's a second chance at keeping a promise to yourself at a time of year when you can build it in to your life.

At Fit4Dreams, I know that everyone cares about their fitness. Maybe it's time to think about your fitness dreams, choose what you want and do what it takes to make it happen. For me, and perhaps for many, it's time to get my diet supporting all the training I do rather than working at one to offset the other.

It's especially important now that I have turned 41 and have just started to deal with one injury after Click here to join the Fit4Dreams FebFast Team. The password is "febfit"another. Consistency is the key if I want to keep doing all the things I enjoy. So I thought I would start my True Years Resolution with a commitment to FebFast and give up drinking for the month of February. That will help me eat the foods I need to eat and forget the ones I don't. Chips and Cheese being the main offenders.

It's the perfect time after Christmas to take a break from Drinking. It makes a big difference for you, and in a true win-win you help people with drug and alcohol dependency issues.

At New Years my resolutions revolved around focus, discipline, going to bed earlier and creating 12 fun family events that we could remember. Clearly one will help the other and I think taking part in Febfast will help them all come true.

So make it a True Year for your resolutions. Start now and join the Fit4Dreams Febfast team. The password you need is "febfit"

Under the Bridge 2012... New Group 6.15pm Mondays @ Milsons Point

We've been getting some great feedback from our 2012 and we want to keep it going strong. Mel Tully, Tamzin Brown and Julia Higgs have all been winning praise for their energy, excitement and expertise. Julie Nantel has just returned form the Canadian Rockies and her sessions are great as always. Julie Hayworth is forging ahead with our first Yoga Classes ever.

It's been rave reviews across the board. No wonder Fit4Dreams has been firing up and all our Mums Squadders are racing back January Holidays.

On Monday afternoons we've started with training a corporate team between 5-6pm under the Harbour Bridge on the Milson's Point/Kirribilli side of the harbour.

I don't know why I've never trained there before it's a little bit special! I'd like to give everyone a chance to experience it so we''ll trial a new session at the same spot from Monday 6 February at 6.15pm. Send me a note if you'd like to come.

We'll be under the Harbour Bridge directly opposite the entrance to North Sydney Pool. Please feel free to come along for an extra session or invite any of your friends who aren't early risers!

Similarly if you have any contacts in North Sydney we are looking to build up lunchtime sessions with Corporate Fitness Programs. Please let us know.

And don't forget Camp David. It was a great session today. A couple of big guys in Paul Webster and Michael Ward were smashing it out until the little Goliath took on Camp David and Bianca Bates started to take the lead a the end. Unbelievable. Lots of people have tried Camp David and loved it we just need to get everyone there at once. so far the best turnout is 7 and it's usually 6 so its a great little class. If you're keen to try a lunch time workout drop a line!

Inspirational Hewitt

Great to see Lleyton Hewitt having a win and moving into the 4th round of the Australian Tennis Open.Eyes On The Ball

Hampered by injury, up against a young Canadian up and comer called Milos Raonic few would have given him a chance. Myself included.

It's a massive well-done to Lleyton but the most inspiration comments came from a refreshingly frank Raonic:

"Lleyton's not the type of person that will give you really anything. Doesn't matter how hurt he's been, how old he is, he's as much of a competitor as he ever was. He got me with that.''

I think that is something to be proud of. Read more at SMH Sport
