Planning for Series #2 begins

It's official - there will be a second series ... so flick me an email or reply to this post with your ideas for how best to design #2. Keep watching for updates.

Final Session tonight

Also ... if you can, please bring either a blanket or a mat with you to the session.

Final Session of Series

Tonight is the final in the Nelson Mens Activator Series. I hope you have enjoyed the past eight weeks and all that was on offer. Tonight, we will meet at Neale Park (North Rd car park/entrance) for a session with Nige in outdoor training. Bring comfortable exercise gear, and a warm top for afterwards - I suggest you might like to head to the Sprig & Fern in Milton St afterwards for a celebratory tipple.

Session Change for this week

Due to Trafalgar Park cycle track being out of action (and no lights) we need to switch the final two sessions around while there is still daylight left. Therefore, tomorrow night's Activator session will be Road Cycling with Joel from Cycling Nelson. Meet in Trafalgar Street, outside Trafalgar Park at 6pm with your bike - Joel will then take you on the cycleway along Neale Park for all sorts of drills and training.

Next week, the outdoor training session will be held. Venue tbc (we will need something with lights) so I will advise early next week.

Enjoy!

Mountainbiking

Tonight you get to learn the basics of mountainbiking with Nige and Matt. Head to Branford Park (start of the Maitai Valley, off Nile St) for an evening of fun. Enjoy!

This week's session

This week you will learn the basics of bike maintenance, including how to change tubes/tyres from the expert instruction of Carl Garth of Ride Nelson.
6pm at Ride Nelson in Halifax St.

Swimming continues

This week, we again meet at Riverside Pool for an evening of swimming. 7.30pm.
Enjoy!

Swimming begins ...

This week we head to Riverside Pool for some expert swimming guidance from Fiona Braid (CLM Riverside) and Taryn Beattie, along with of course, our experienced Nige.

Next Session

The next session for the series will be held instore at Shoe Clinic, in Bridge St. Brett (a physiotherapist) will take you through a treadmill analysis to match your foot strike to shoe type, and can answer any questions you may have about running, injury prevention, clothing etc. Nigel will meet you there at 6.00pm.
