Sussan Fun Run 2011

What a day Sunday 4th December 2011, turned out to be.  26 amazing ladies travelled into St.Kilda for the annual BCNA Sussan Women's Fun Run.  We all started to arrive extremely early in the morning & it was freezing!  A nasty onshore breeze cut through all of us.  Not that the crappy weather put us off it just inspired us to run or walk a little faster!

Half the ladies entered the 10km run/walk & the other half took on the 5km sprint!  I decided to go with a nice slow lazy 10km run.  I have to say there were some amazing efforts put in by all who attended.  We had personal best achievements set by everyone!  Together team 'Knockout Chicks' raised nearly $3,500 for the Breast Cancer Network Australia. This brings our total for the past 2 years to nearly $12,500.  Not a bad effort I think!  

You Can Fitness would like to acknowledge the fundraising efforts of some very special people - Kym, Krystal, Lynda, Melanie, Brooke, Caitlin, Aileen, Rachael & Heather.  Thank you to those who climbed out of bed at some frightening hour of the morning to travel into town & participate.  

And finally thank you to everyone who made a donation to our 2011 team.  

See you all next year!   

What to look for in a personal trainer 

• How much does it cost to hire their services and what types of payment options are available? Do they offer a discount for larger training packages, for example, for more than one session a week?
• What about other fees, such as extra services or cancellation fees?
• Will they offer a discounted trial period before you commit? It is important you feel comfortable training with this personal trainer.
• Are they available at the particular times and days when you're free to exercise?
• Do they recommend that you have a medical check-up before embarking on a new exercise program? This is particularly important if you haven't exercised in a long time, are overweight, are aged over 40 years or have a chronic medical condition.
• What range of physical activity options do they offer? Would you be working out in a gym, at home or outdoors?
• Ask how they tailor exercise programs for clients. How would your preferences be taken into account? What sort of services do they offer to support you in achieving your goals?
• What about updates to the exercise program that accommodate your improving fitness levels?
• Can they offer nutritional advice or refer you to appropriate sources of information on healthy eating?

• The personal trainer should be someone you like. Ask yourself if you think you could get along with the trainer and whether you think the trainer is genuinely interested in helping you.
• A good listener - a good trainer will listen closely to what you say. Make sure they understand your goals. Make sure you feel comfortable asking questions.
• Attention - a good trainer will be focused only on you during your sessions.
• Tracking progress - a good trainer will regularly assess your progress and change things if necessary.
