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

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:

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…..

It was an amazing crowd with 600 + people in attendance rocking it out to the amazing band “Ignition”, what a great atmosphere!!

A huge thanks to all the sponsors of the event, I will do up a post on all over the coming weeks.

Of course, thank you to the amazing Legs Dance Studio, dancers who set the place on fire with an amazing introduction to the night.

These girls are available to be booked for functions and I can’t speak highly enough about them, they were amazing.

We are still awaiting the final tally on how much we have raised, but just wanted to send out a few photos for you to look at.

Remember you can purchase any photos for $5 that will also go to Clare Holland House Fund at: http://travislongmorephotography.com.au

We have one of our clients doing The Canberra Times Fun Run this year and will be dedicating her run to:

The Miracle Babies Foundation through everyday hero.

Our client Rosy, had an amazing little boy born at 25 weeks (he is now a very healthy 2 1/2 year old), here is what she had to say:

“As most of you know, my son Angus was born premature at 25 weeks and is now a healthy 2 ½ year old.  If it wasn’t for the care he received and the amazing medical equipment, I believe that he wouldn’t be here with us today. So for us, every day is a celebration of life. I have decided to celebrate both Angus’ life and my newly found healthier life by dedicating my run in the Canberra Times Fun Run to all premature and sick newborns and raising money for The Miracle Babies Foundation through everyday hero.” Rosy

“Since recommencing Boot Camp with Succeed in May 2010, I have gone on to improve my fitness and lose nearly 20kgs in the process. Putting it into a more visual perspective, when I first started, I was pushing a size 24 and yesterday I brought a dress, for the Succeed Charity Ball that was a size 16 ( very exciting moment). I would like to really thank the Succeed team for getting me into shape and starting off the fundraising with a very kind donation for me, thank you, Rosy”.

Here is the link if you would like to help me raise some funds (there are also some images of my little man):

It has been a hard road that is for sure, but a an amazing one.

 The year has seen me lose 12kg (yes it may not look like it), be fitter than I have ever been, stronger  certainly faster than I have ever been.

A big thanks to Josh and the crew at Crossfit 2600 for helping me out the last year with my training.

So a rundown:

I represented Crossfit 2600 in the teams event (I fell short of making the individual cometition - will try again next year..). Overall we finished a respectable 18th. Some of the teams had some of Aust fittest athlets and we held our own in every event.

Congrats to Kai & Megs for finishing 6th & 5th respectfully. Well done you are both an inspiration and I love training with you guys any chance I get.

It was an awesome job all round with Birchy in 16th, Benny & Matty = 18th, big Adam Manikis in 22nd. All the individual athletes from 2600 really rocked the house down. Well done gang.

Here is some random footage of the games:
