Meet the Moutere Hills Walkers

newsgirl — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 08:14:24 +0000

Join the Moutere Hills walking group to meet like-minded people and discover the local area. The group is organised by our Way2Go Coordinator, Vanessa, and now has 14 committed walkers each week and Mojo, the dog. Each week we walk a different route for just over an hour and the group naturally divides into various pace speeds.

The participants fully enjoy the benefits from regular walking and meet every Tuesday morning at 9.00am in the Moutere Hills car park. One of the ladies from the walking group enthusiastically told us, “This group is great, I have met new people and really enjoyed getting out of the house.”

If you crave solitude, walking on your own might be the perfect workout. If you’d rather look to others for inspiration, don’t go it alone. The camaraderie you experience in a walking group and the shared fitness success can help you walk your way to better health. New members are always welcome.

Way2Go walkers! See you every Tuesday at 9.15 – routes posted on the noticeboard.

Zumba Storms in Upper Moutere

newsgirl — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:52:18 +0000

Way2Go Moutere! No less than fifty-five ladies came to Zumba on down in the Moutere Hills gym tonight. Never before have so many turned up on the first night of any activity! The Zumba workout was an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning and body-energizing fun.

Definitely a fun and funky way to get fit and shed some pounds if you need to. The program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. You’ll move those hips to salsa, hip-hop, samba, belly dancing, African beats and more. Brilliant fitness for men & women (but only the girls turned out tonight) and perhaps one of our most popular Way2Go activities yet!

Get into the Zumba craze this term: every Wednesday night 6 – 7pm, $5 on the door.

Wear trainers, light clothing, bring a big bottle of water and come join the party.
