Hey all,

Welcome back to the start of a new year, one that is sure to be filled of changes and exciting times.

The decision is yours in 2012!!!

What are you going to do? Is it time to make it about you and finally make some changes and set some goals for yourself? Or will you spend another year making up excuses?

Remember the quote - “if nothing changes, then nothing changes”

How many years have you made it about others, and not about YOU??

Well now is the chance to make it about you, it is never too late.

Whether it be the outdoor world and hitting up the Boot Camps in Canberra, or you are wanting to stay indoors at the Health Clubs, here at Succeed Canberra we can cater for all…

Our Boot Camp Canberra sessions are back up and running on a casual basis across the ACT, with the main program starting the end of this month, registrations are now being taken: admin@succeed.com.au

But if that is not your thing, then we can certainly help you at with any 1 on 1 or small group PT sessions!!! We have trainers based within Club Lime Tuggeranong and also at the Alive Health Clubs and also CrossFit Queanbeyan.

So why not get back on track and make it about you??

Simply click here to register for Boot Camp or enquire about Personal Training.

We look forward to huge 2012 and leaving a few thousand kilos of fat out there….

The Succeed Team

On behalf of all the trainers at Succeed, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year. Thank you all for your patronage in 2011, whether Boot Campers or Personal Training Clients. It has been an amazing year with some even more amazing results. We have seen people leave many kilos of fat, sweat, tears and yes even some blood, in the gyms and out on the fields. Have a fantastic festive season, relax, enjoy, drink, eat and be Merry. Again a big thank you for your continual support and we look forward to 2012, full of great new surprises and training programs. For those of you that are not sure of when we return and the programs we have on offer for early 2012, it is all right here:http://www.succeed.com.au/ Merry Christmas everybody The Succeed Team

Hey fellow Canberra Boot Camp & Canberra CrossFit people..

I am seeing a growing trend in many people not helping themselves out both in everyday life and also those who are into their fitness and health.

 Many Canberran’s are not doing anything to progress in their training and skills by failing to do any mobility or flexibilty work (not to mention what is happening to those that are sedentry on a daily basis).

It is vital that you spend time on your flexibilty if you wish to progress and get fitter, faster, stronger, or just to live longer for that matter!

I have just finished up a few sessions in my garage today, and I am seeing some lack of flexibilty in some people.

Here is an awesome resource tool for you. It is called the mobility WOD, run by Kelly Starrett, and he is the king of mobility in the CrossFit world, and he can certainly help YOU!!!

Check it out and get flexible:

Well I have had a whole host of people over the last few months come to me about these new ‘toning’ shoes.

Personally I think it is a waste of money (my own opinion).

We have been created to use our body in as natrual state as possible, and using these artificial items are ruining our bodies!!

I run in shoes with no support or cushioning and my feet and legs have never been so good! If you have shin splints I am going to tell you to run barefoot for a month and see what happens! Not run off and spend $600 on getting orthodics.

I will post about this soon but, this just came out in the news today that should answer your question about the toning shoe:

Reebok Agrees To $25M Settlement In Refunds For ‘Toning Shoes’

Don’t forget ‘Spring into Summer’ Boot Camp Canberra starts next week, REGISTER NOW…..

Thanks to all of my clients for putting up with me the last few weeks to prepare for the games, I do appreciate it, and also thanks to those that have trained beside me and pushed me along.
