The Pool or the Ocean?

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

The start of a new year is often a time set new goals.  One of the most common goals is to ‘learn something new’.  We love the positiveness of this goal. It is not about quitting something (removing from our lives) – instead, it’s about adding a sense of value to our lives.

Why do we  encourage you to learn something new – here’s our top 5 reasons:

  • It’s fun!
  • It offers you a sense of accomplishment and pride
  • It adds more time in your day – you value time more and use it better
  • It enables you to meet new people and form friendships
  • It builds your self-esteem and confidence

Lastly & importantly (which really makes it 6 reasons) – it makes you HAPPY! A core need for psychological well-being.

 

If you’re looking for a positive, self-growth goal – we’d love to invite you to join one of our newest Learn-to-Programs. These flagship programs are what we are all about – passion in sharing our skills, and enabling others to grow and flourish. There’s no greater investment.

In signing off – we’d like to leave you with a beautiful quote from the amazing Christopher Reeve:

“Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool, or you go out in the ocean.” 

 

Yours in community,
~ Debbie & Team BEXI

Orange Running Festival: 3 March 2019

Join us for a wonderful weekend away in the renowned food and wine region of Orange. Enjoy the stunning autumnal colours and cool climate as we take part in the Orange Running Festival – a scenic, fast, undulating run course.

The 2019 Orange Running Festival offers a fabulous event catering for all ages and abilities – from the 2km dash for kids, to the marathon distance for the more experienced runner. The country atmosphere from the friendly local community, makes this event very inviting and super-friendly. We love it!

About the Program

Our 11-week program focuses on the Half-Marathon distance, commencing Mon 10 Dec 2018. You will receive an online periodised training program via Training Peaks, which will be updated on a weekly basis. This will enable us to provide individual plans that best suits your needs and goals. We train together as a team, as this offers encouragement, motivation, accountability for showing up and a great sense of camaraderie between fellow running buddies.  Starting with building a solid foundation, we then incorporate strength, speed and endurance training into the mix. Our goal is to ensure you are at the start line in peak form, ready to achieve your personal goal.

New this year! You choose the number of weekly coached sessions you would like to attend – based on your availability. From interval sessions, tempo training, long runs, strength & conditioning, pilates, yoga and much more.  As a recommendation, we encourage you to attend a minimum of 3 x coached weekly runs sessions – as this will keep you focused, injury free and progress your cardio fitness. You can then choose any additional coached sessions to complement your run training.
