Pump up the music

Walking to a different beat
By Meeghan, 31 May, 2010
March to fitness a cake walk..
Please check out this article which was printed earlier this month in the Monash Journal. It's all about our Heart Foundation walking group.

1000 Steps - Sunday March 28th
By Meeghan, 12 March, 2010
It's just over two weeks away but now is the time to start training for the 1000 steps.
Otherwise known as the Kokoda Walk, the 1000 steps are in Ferntree Gully and the walk is a memorial, representing the hard work of the soldiers of World War II who fought in Papua New Guinea and walked the Kokoda Track.
While it is nothing like its Papua New Guinea counterpart, the 1000 steps is still a steep trek requiring a moderate level of fitness and strength.
If you would like to be a part of this free group event, please talk to your Forever Strong trainer and start preparing yourself now.
For more details please contact Forever Strong.

Goal setting workshop with special guest Vicki Cardwell
By Meeghan, 15 January, 2010
This week I've focused your training on goal setting for 2010; as the famous New York Yankee baseball player Lawrence "Yogi" Berra said "If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else".
With this in mind I'd like to invite you to a goal setting workshop at the studio on Friday January 29th at 6.30pm. Accompanying me will be Vicki Cardwell, a gutsy and formidable former World No.1 squash player and Australian Sport Hall of fame inductee who is now head coach of the 2011 Australian girls talent squad.
Vicki was a leading Australian squash player from the late 1970's through to the 1990's so she will have a wealth of information about not only how to become the best but how to motivate and set goals to stay physically and mentally competitive for many years. And in her new role as head coach of the girls talent squad you can also hear how she trains and encourages young athletes to become the best they can be.
To hear Vicki speak and to learn more from me about a systemised approach to goal setting which you can apply to all aspects of your life you will need to book your seat asap.
The presentation is only available to 20 people and the price for this 75 min presentation will be $15 for clients and $20 for friends of Forever Strong. Drinks and refreshments will be provided. Please book early to avoid missing out.
Home workout plan for parents
By Meeghan, 14 January, 2010
I recently received an email from my client Scott, a father of two, with a link to the home workout plan he has been following.
As I'm always in search of new ways to motivate my clients to workout at home, I've decided to share this program with you.
Please let me know what you think!

2nd Forever Strong fun run - a great success!
By Meeghan, 4 December, 2009
Congratulations to the 30 plus participants who swapped a Sunday morning sleep in for an energising walk/ run around the Tan.
It was a beautiful morning on Sunday November 15 and a welcome relief from the heatwave earlier in the week.
We had the young, the young at heart, partners and friends; some who walked one lap and participated in their first ever 'fun run', others who ran one lap and a couple of serious joggers who went round twice!
The beauty of this event lies in its simplicity, with no huge crowds and no hard and fast rules. Some of you have continued to visit the Tan and have commented on how easy it is to travel to and how enjoyable the 3.8km track is.
The third Forever Strong Fun Run/ Walk will be on again next year and if you haven't already participated in one, do yourself a favour and join us in 2010.
