It's the Daily News and some really feel good Wednesday Wellbeing tips. I was very excited to announce last night that Oxygen Health & Fitness had become the top fundraiser Australia wide for the Push Ups for Charity event that we held on Saturday.

To sum it up in five words: THE BEST CHALLENGE WEEK YET! Challenge Week has always been a big test of endurance, but to throw in an extra event at the start and call it Australia's Toughest Fun Run - that was a huge way to start! The Saddleback Smash was hugely successful for it's Inaugural Run. We had 118 participants and it brought together all the local fitness groups for a great … [Read more...]

Saturday 6am THE FINALE – Amazing Race I only finalised this Challenge last night but I was happy with what I came up with. All through the night it rained and I thought, bring it on! I sort of hoped the weather would be ok when everyone arrived but then if it rained while we were out running so be it! I woke up a little late which didn’t leave long to get the 20 Oxygen drink bottles … [Read more...]
Friday 6am STRETCH – Refresh n Recover It looked as though people REALLY needed the Stretch this morning! I set up four stations of recovery exercises that each worked on different areas. John Wiaczek from Kiamassage was nice enough to come down and help out with some seated massage which people gladly accepted. There with John on the cricket pitches were some foam rollers and massage … [Read more...]
Thursday 6am STRENGTH – Muscular Mission The plan that I had given the other Chiefs was thrown out the window after I woke early with a new plan I’d been thinking about all night. Yes it’s true, sometimes I lay awake at night thinking up new ways to torture you people. So with four different Strength exercises mixed in with some cardio, the Teams set off to rack up as many reps as … [Read more...]
Wednesday 6am INTERVAL RUN – Obscene Obstacles Wow! After turning up to Hindmarsh Park and NOT seeing Dave’s car parked in the laneway, questions were being asked and something was up. Instead Ali Day’s car was there but no Ali. Where are we running to Dave? All in good time guys. All Teams were asked to put their colour differences aside and run as one in either Beginner, Intermediate … [Read more...]
Tuesday 6am CORE – BOSU Block Party Another colourful session with our Cardio/Core mixer. There were 8 stations, 50 seconds work at each and two laps were completed to get the heart pumping and the abs burning. The BLUES managed to WIN their first session with solid numbers and a competitive spirit. 20 points coming courtesy of a great Team Sit Up Challenge and 15 points coming from Ali … [Read more...]
