Les Mills cross training programme for Run2Heal

While a jogging programme offers great cardio vascular fitness, often you need to balance this with a less “high impact” activity. This gym programme is designed to offer an alternative exercise regime which includes low impact exercise that will compliment your jogging programme.
 
For a more detailed description of these classes, check out www.lesmills.co.nz.
 
BODYPUMP® is low impact and strengthens the major muscle groups, especially your central core muscles (abdominal and back) which help you maintain good running technique.
 
BODYBALANCE® helps to loosen those tight muscles, especially in your legs which will help limit the possibility of injury.
 
BODYSTEP® offers a great alternative cardio vascular workout, focusing on toning and strengthening your butt and thighs.
 
RPM® gives you another alternative to improve your cardio fitness, but has the advantage of being low impact.
 
BODYCOMAT® another cardio vascular alternative for your programme, which combines the fighting disciplines of Karate, Boxing and Tai Chi.

EXCLUSIVE BENDON SPORT OFFER FOR RUN2HEAL

Ever wished a sports bra could have it all – allowing you to kick butt on the sports field and work it in the fashion stakes?
 
Seems a simple enough ask and one which Bendon Sport has answered.
 
From high impact sports bras to sports tops, shorts and three quarter length gym pants, the Bendon Sport range combines fashion styling with advanced performance capabilities.
 
To help support Run2Heal, Bendon Sport is giving you the opportunity to get your hands on a Bendon Sports bra for $10 off the regular retail price.
 
Simply take your Alro Tax Invoice, Race Receipt or Race Number sheet (from registration pack) into your local Bendon Lingerie store to take advantage of this exclusive Bendon Sport offer. 
 
Bendon also offers a professional bra fitting service, for free. This is highly recommended, as breast bounce while exercising can cause discomfort and permanent breast sag. A well fitting sports bra is critical – as is choosing the right bra for the type of exercise you are doing.
 
Bendon Sport bras offer support based on an impact rating for different levels of activity and include Max Out: the ultimate support for high impact activity and available from A- DD cup and Flex Out: a flexible sports bra that bends with the body and is ideal for medium impact activity.
 
Bendon Sport is already being worn by some Commonwealth Games athletes, New Zealand sporting identities such as Allison Roe and Sonia Waddell, and the Australian netballers – why not join them!
