Greetings!

 

TRAMPING IN THE KAIMAI'S

 

I hope that you had a fantastic Easter and were able to get out and enjoy the amazing weather.

I was fortunate to get away to Te Aroha and do some exploring in the Kaimai's.  There is such a vast network of walking tracks infact there are 22 different weekend tramps that you can choose from. And there is a walk to suit all fitness levels and ability.  So if you are looking to get away for a few days then I would highly recommend getting down to the Kaimai's to do some exploring & it is less than 2 hours away. Either Te Aroha or Matamata make a great base for any of these walks.


3 walks that I would highly recommend ...

 

 

Mt Te Aroha Summit, 

This track is literally a 1km climb! and takes you to the highest point in the mountain range, it offers magnificent views & the lure of the hot spa afterwards is enough to entice anyone back down the mountain.  



 

 

 

  

 

  

The Waiorongomai Valley has a number of great walks, you can choose 1-2 hour walks or combine several for a full and challenging day walk.  

  

  

 

The Wairere Falls were definitely a highlight, it wasn't the pumping water from the falls that took my breath away but the track weaves it's way up a path of moss covered rocks and passes through a grove of nikau, and puriri before leading steeply up a cliff to the first lookout platform that offers spectacular views from the base of the falls.  Once you reach the top of the falls you have a magnificent view looking back over the valley and the Waikato Plains. You need to allow about 3 hours return for this walk.

KNEE PAIN & 8 WAYS TO LOOK AFTER YOUR KNEES
 
The knee is a hinge joint formed by two bones (femur and tibia) and is held together by four ligaments.
 
The patella, or knee cap, also is part of the normal knee anatomy. The ends of the femur and tibia and underside of the patella are covered by articular cartilage, a slippery surface wihch allows friction-free, pain free movement.

SPINACH AND LENTIL SOUP


 
It is that time of year when it doesn't feel right it you don't have a pot of soup on the stove ready to go,  I love lentil soup as it is hearty and healthy and makes a great workday lunch.  I often make a batch of soup in the weekend ready to go for my workday lunch.

Hi I am Cherie Evans and I am the stockist for Gripad NZ. For those of you who train at Fitness Fix

I am sure that you are very familiar with the gripads when you do the seated row exercise!

 

I regularly attend Sally's classes and introduced the gripad to her late last year to help save your hands from blisters and to allow you to focus your attention on maximising your workout.

 

Sally is now stocking gripads and she has a range of colours suitable for both men and women.  So if you are looking for a set of your own or as a perfect gift for a loved one then I am sure Sally would only be too happy to show you the range.

 

Gripad lifting gloves provide a firm and comfortable grip while preventing calluses, heat, and odour usually associated with regular workout gloves.
Through Fitness Fix, Sally is giving women who previously lacked the motivation, support or courage to fit  fitness in to their lives an opportunity to achieve amazing results for themselves in a way that is easy and effective. They may be women who do not fit the gym model or who don't enjoy exercising alone but who  want to get together to make fitness and associated activities part of their daily lives by adding fun and friendships into their fitness regimes.
