Programmes to Re-Activate Mum!

Are you a mum or mum to be that has asked herself these questions?:

  • Is it safe to exercise when you are pregnant?
  • What type of exercise is safe when you are pregnant?
  • How soon can I exercise after I have had my baby?
  • How do I know that I am not over doing it and exercising too soon or too much?
  • I am feeling tired and lacking motivation – where can I turn to for help?

Finally for the First Time in Hawke’s Bay Peak Fitness is launching Active Mums!!!

Designed by a Mum for Mums.  Anna Gibbons (PE Teacher and Personal Trainer in Nelson) decided to put a programme together after she started having children.  From there she has expanded into Contours gyms and appeared on the Good Morning Show.

Rowing Marathon – 42195 metres

Date:  Saturday 28th November 8.30 am kick off

Name Time Average over 500m Strokes per minute
Doug Abraham 2hr57min47sec 2.06 21
Chris Evans 2hr59min34sec 2.07 26
Andrew 2hr59min09sec 2.01 25
Chris Owen 2hr48min46sec 1.59 20

Over a quiet social drink one evening Chris Owen set the ball rolling – what eventuated from one person ended up 4 strapping lads taking on an INDOOR ROWING MARATHON -  The training began and the date was set. 

Kick off at 8.30 am – the team set up – little tables for their energy replacement drinks, camel backs and lots of towels to mop up the sweat not to mention their support from their family and friends.

They all had a goal of under 3 hours which they all achieved – I must admit I have never seen as much sweat in the gym as what I saw that morning.

Coming of the rower was a bit of a challenge – tight hamstrings and well those rear ends definitely got worked over – but wow what an achievement – they can all now say that they have done a marathon – on a rower – I am starting to sense after their post marathon celebrations their maybe another shot at it next year – watch this space…

Congratulations to Chris for getting them started and to all the men for their amazing row – and many thanks to Diva’s for been the place to get them talking and started….

Check out the boys here…
