MIDGE Alert!
Not sure about any of you, but I have midge bites all over! Here are a few pointers that you might want to take into consideration to avoid bites :(
1. avoid wearing perfumes to class
2. wear long sleeves and long trousers
3. dab citronella and/or lavender oil on your clothing - avoid skin contact
4. wear a hat
5. spray your clothing with a good commercial repellant avoiding your eyes and any open wounds
6. eat vegemite before a class!
7. be aware the midges are more active at dusk - so those of you in the later sessions should come prepared!
For more info (and confirmation that eating Vegemite helps, go to)

FITT Fact of the week
While post-workout meals should have quick high glycemic index carbs and quickly digested proteins, all of your other meals throughout the day should be comprised of low glycemic index, slowly digested carbs and slow release proteins.
Another great thing about post-workout meals is that you can satisfy even the worst sweet tooth, since this is the one time of the day where you can get away with eating extra sugars without adding to your gut. Instead, it all goes straight to the muscles! Enjoy!FACT.
Sexy FITT Abs Exercise
1. Start by placing yourself on your hands and knees.
2. Slowly raise your opposite arm and opposite leg and extend them out away from the body.
3. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other side.
4. Always keep this movement slow and controlled.
Core exercises workout tips:This exercise is very important for core stability, low back strength, and when performed with arm coming out at an angle instead of forward it also corrects forward shoulder posture and improves range of motion with all ab exercises

FITT Boxing sessions
We are planning at least 2 boxing sessions per week as part of the sessions. Please let me know if you would prefer to buy your own gloves (I will get them at cost price). This way, you know you are the only person to have used them and can keep them at home! Or I can keep them..whichever you prefer.
So, please let me know if you would not mind paying for your own set of gloves for future sessions.
COMPETITION Winner!
The winner of the Phoenix Delite sugar free chocolate hamper is Ann S! Well done Ann, hope you share it with us at the next session! :)

FITT Fact for the week
Goal setting is a motivational technique widely used in sport which involves the assigning and choosing of specific, objective, concrete targets. Well defined goals improve performance, quality of practice, clarify expectations, relieve boredom, and increase pride and self-confidence. Ideally goals should be realistic but challenging, and short term. FACT.
Sexy Summer Arms Exercise
The tricep muscles are located on the back of the upper arm, aka bingo wings.
It can be a difficult area to tone, especially for women. It uses your own body weight as resistance. It can be performed almost anywhere and does not require weights.
Step 1. Use a bench or chair. It will need to be sturdy enough to hold your body weight. Stand in front of the bench, with your back to it
Step 2.Place your hands on the bench with palms down and your knuckles facing forward. Hands should be slightly closer than shoulder width apart. As you are doing this you will bend at the knees and your legs should be at a 90-degree angle.
Step 3. Lower your body by bending at the elbow. Exhale slowly as you bend. Lower for a count of two. Elbows should not point out away from the body as you lower.
Step 4.Straighten your arms out. This will push your body back up. Inhale slowly through your nose as you straighten your arm.
Step 5.Complete 12 repetitions. This is considered one set. Towards the end of the set it should get difficult to perform the exercise. Perform enough repetitions of the tricep dip to work the muscle to fatigue without causing pain.
Step 6.Do two to three sets. Rest your triceps for a minute in between sets. Work your triceps two to three times a week, with at least 24 hours' rest between workouts.
