BEAT THE

At the beginning of the year everyone makes New Year’s resolutions, but by Valentine’s Day the majority of us have abandoned them. Winter makes it even harder to stay motivated in those colder, shorter, darker days. Everyone feels the “Winter Blues” in some way or another whether it’s the temptation to eat more, feeling lethargic and moody or catching coughs, colds and flu.

Don’t be discouraged, exercise can still be a regular part of your lifestyle no matter the season. It is as important as ever to stay fit over the winter period and keep your energy levels and mood elevated and immune system strong!

One of the major tools for staying on track is sharing the experience of exercising with others. We experience an increase of endorphins during group exercise which helps helps make working out more a pleasure than a chore. The benefits of group work have been proven through various research including one from Oxford University’s Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology. Their 2009 study concluded that the production of endorphins – the brain’s happy hormone – was significantly greater for people participating in group exercise than for those who exercised solo.

Revolution offers a variety of Group Fitness classes from cycle, cross-training and mixed martial arts to various forms of dance, yoga, pilates and low-impact classes. Our group Personal Training sessions are also a fantastic addition to any health and fitness regime to get the most out of your body and your workouts. Call (07) 5587 9011 for more information.

Any babies who, like us, turn one this year get the VIP treatment with TWO WEEKS FREE access to KidsSpot crèche.
