Quote for the day: “What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”
Abraham Maslow

G’day Groovers!

It’s almost the weekend and we have some fantastic weather to enjoy according to the forecast. Let’s make some lifestyle changes by walking our way to better health & fitness this Spring starting this weekend!
Don’t just think about it…do it! Make the commitment and stick to it. I dare you…

Below I have listed 7 beautiful walks in different locations around Victoria. How about making a goal to walk every one on the list by Christmas this year?
I will offer a special prize to everyone who achieves this!

If you want some personal coaching or have a group of friends who want to enjoy some outdoor training then send me an email or give me a buzz and we can organise this immediately. I’m planning to take regular groups to the 1000 stairs (Upper Ferntree Gully) on Saturday and/or Sunday afternoons very soon. If this interests you give me a call. It will be loads of fun…and you will get fit too!

I will be heading up to the Dandenongs to check the tracks out this weekend so stay tuned…
