LET'S GIVE TEAM SEPTU A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY THIS WEEK!

Well team, you know what they say about peaking too early……..doesn’t look like we’re in danger of that 1 week in – very good strategy!

On a more personal level, my body has had a bit of a hammering this week and possibly thinks I’ve peaked too early BUT I have other plans for it. 

I came into this challenge thinking it would just be a bit of fun and a way to inject some variety into my gym sessions.  I’m quickly discovering that I’m prepared to push myself a lot harder than I anticipated and am feeling very competitive.  It’s certainly a great way to drive us through winter!

Some of us did active fit today which was fairly challenging.  Between that and Ricks session on the field I’ll be lucky if I ever gain full use of my legs again.

I hope everyone is charged up after the long weekend and ready to get out there and kick some butt this week.

Look forward to seeing you all at the gym.

Maree.

congratulations on the first week!!

 

 

I must say people well done and a big round of fist pumps and high fives for all Teams!!

I have been well and truly encouraged by the vigour in which all teams and taking on all matters of competitveness and eager gym attendance

The scores have been posted and it looks like Team Septu will take out first weeks honours with a total of 27 points as the first weeks totals.

The other teams points come in like this

 

·         Team Athena 24

·         Team Minerva 24

·         Team Zeus 26

·         Team Maru 25

·         Team Ares 26

 

If it seems like low points never fear my loyal subjects (according to Zeus, in the baddest lightening storm ever indoors!!), because we will be having MAJOR special rounds, the kind that make you go all out to achieve, can make a team in last place leap to the front of the pack and alike.

So keep your eyes firmly fixed on this blog and your training efforts.

P.S all group fitness points will be calculated at the end of each month to avoid confusion and give people the last ditch effort to accumulate points, it can be done

 

Till then enjoy yourselves and remember its about you and your team

How is everyone else going? look forward to seeing you in the gym. P.S Thanks Bern for the info on the history of Athena and glad to hear you're feeling better.   LETS GO TEAM!   Rick

Week 1

Hi Team,

 

Great to see most of you at the nutrition seminar, but boy, puts a different spin on 'good nutrition' doesn't it!

Got in for a workout this morning after being out of action with a nasty head cold for the past week.  Aiming to be back to full strength in another week (on Docs advice).

 

Has anyone booked in for the blood analysis at Discover Health?  Getting mine done later this month

 

Did a little research on our team name -

In Greek mythology Athena was widely known in one of her roles as "Athena Goddess of War", it was as a mediator and a planner that she excelled. She always worked to prevent war, but once war had been joined the goddess Athena fought efficiently for her side.  

Major Temple Sites: The city of Athens, which is named after her. The Parthenon is her best-known, and best-preserved, temple.

Interesting Fact: One of her epithets (titles) is "Grey-eyed". Her gift to the Greeks was the useful olive tree. The underside of the olive tree's leaf is grey, and when the wind lifts the leaves, it shows Athena's many "eyes".

Happy Training!

Some guidelines around the blogging

 

1 more thing folks

 

The team blog is a great way to let the team know where you are at with your training, how you are managing your food etc.  It is a forum board to let the world know how you are doing.  Sometimes there can be no greater motivation to avoiding that takeaway hit than knowing you will have to confess to your team on your weekly blog..  Talk with your team members and find out how you want to use it and how you can make it best work for you. 

 

One of the great features of the blog is the ability to post comments against a post.  This means that someone can post an idea, and then everyone can make comments against that post.  To do this, simply click the comments link under a post on the blog site.

 

We will also use the blogs to post information about the challenge, so check it regularly. 

 

Finally some tips on posting... make sure you remove any auto signatures on your email before posting otherwise these will be posted as well and make the blog look a little scrappy.  Because of the way that we have the posting working, you will not be able to email pictures or videos directly. These will need to be uploaded to youtube or picassa (or other online media hosts) and then we can link them in..  any questions just flick us an email at bloghelp@genesisfitness.co.nz and we will get back to you.

 

Hope this helps
