ForestFit July
19.06.08ForestFit June was a sell out, 20 folk are currently being trained 3 times a week by GetFit.lu
Here is what some of them are saying:
“Today’s session was great, I can already feel my body - I think the next thing I’ll be doing today is going through my drawers trying to find that muscle cream 
“
“Although enjoying just everything, Forest (left) is also my favourite. Am always a bit scared of everything other than the Playground LOL, but Forest (left) gets my adrenaline (and challenging myself to get out of my comfort zone ) “
“This morning was fun, it doesn’t seems as hard when there are games and races involved although its still a good workout My arms will be sore tomorrow though! “
“I can feel myself getting stronger each week and with that comes an increased confidence to keep pushing myself, resulting in increased satisfaction, so all in all a win-win situation. While I am by no means the fastest/strongest person in the group, I still feel like each time I have pushed myself further than what I thought myself capable of - I have never once gone home thinking “that was easy”. Which goes to show how well you have designed these workouts, since there are obviously different levels of competence within a group that have to be taken into account.”
July is now open for registration over at http://www.forestfit.com
Reserve your place today!

PS. We are not doing an August group, so this is your last chance before we break for the Summer!
Are You A Fair Weather Trainer?
29.05.08So much for doing ForestFit regardless of the weather…
Sadly this morning we had no choice but to cancel the workout because of the thunder and lightening. Certainly the right decision despite the fact it cleared about 15 minutes later, and it was actually quite pleasant!
So like any “crazy” individual I set out into the Forest by myself to catch a quick intervals session.
Splashing through the deep pools of water, mud splattering up the back of my legs, dodging the heavy, low and very wet branches, leaping from one side of the trail to the other to avoid the slippery roots and rocks. Charging up the hill using every ounce of energy to get to the top, refusing to be defeated by gravity and that awkward, uneven slope. As I walked back down the hill I started thinking about those poor souls stuck in the gym…
Pounding away at their treadmill, in their pristine white training shoes and colour coordinated workout attire. The only thing to dodge is the choice of music and the mindless crap on the tv screens. The pre-programmed, laser sharp accuracy of the angle of slope on the treadmill, knowing to the meter the distance you have traveled, the exact number of calories burnt and how much longer you have to stay on that thing to really start burning fat!
Who was enjoying the act of losing body fat more?
I wonder ;o)

ForestFit June @ 09:30
28.05.08Joining forestfit is now really a no-brainer.
We are in the last week of ForestFit May, and all but two participants have re-joined plus we have almost filled the 07:00 group, when I last checked we had only two places available.
The 09:30 group still has a number of places available, but we are hopeful of filling this group too!
Just think, by 10:30 every Tuesday and Thursday you’ll have had your healthy breakfast, got the kids to school AND finished a fun and rewarding, fat burning workout. On Saturday’s we’ll start a little earlier giving you the rest of the weekend to do all the things your weekends are filled with.
Get over to www.forestfit.com to register today.

ForestFit June Group 2
20.05.08A quick post to tell you all that Jess and I will run a 2nd ForestFit group for the month of June.
As well as the Early Morning group starting at 7 in the morning, we are also offering a 09:30 start time to accommodate those who have family priorities early in the morning.
So pack you kids off to school and join us for some energising workouts in the woods, and you’ll done before 10:30.
Go to the ForestFit website to register today for your place.
Tim
P.S. Places are limited, once they are all gone we cannot accept any more!
1. Write down your goal. Get a sticky note, write down what dress/jean size you WILL fit in by the end of June. Stick it on the side of your computer monitor, fridge door etc etc.
2. Schedule your workouts for the next 3 weeks: Write them into your scheduler now, they cannot be moved, skipped, deleted, it is like missing an appointment with the hair dresser, you wanna look good yes?
3. Drink more plain water, especially now the weather has turned for the better. Everything from better skin condition, to better elimination of waste. It will also help absorb and utilise those nutrients you are eating much better.
4. Don’t Jog - Run, Don’t free wheel - Push the pedals hard, don’t do breast-stroke - do freestyle/front crawl! Intervals are the best cardio method in your arsenal to a better body.
5. Eat more often: Yep, eat every 2-3 hours of the day, NEVER miss a meal, have snacks between meals. Keep your metabolism on full burn by eating regularly, never famine and feast!
Try it.
If you are in Luxembourg, we can provide you with workouts three times a week with “ForestFit June” starting June 10th
If you are not in Luxembourg, try our “Corporate Athlete Handbook“
ForestFit June registration now open
08.05.08No sooner have we started with ForestFit May, then we have opened up June for registration.
The weather this week has been great, the participants are just great fun and the workouts are the perfect start to the day, in an incredible location.
A few minor changes having got some feedback already from the popular May group. We are going to change the start time to 07:00 to allow folk a little more time so they can get to work for 09:00. This will be for the Tuesday and Thursday sessions, for Saturday we may make it a little later ;o)
Sign up today to reserve your place. Again the group is limited to 20 people, and 2 spots are already taken by current members of the May group! So get cracking!
We are also thinking of running a second group mid morning, to accommodate those with kids as their early morning priority. I want to hear from as many of you as possible to tell me you are interested, drop me an email “tim @ getfit.lu” (take out the spaces in this address)
and this is just after 1 Session!!!!
1. After the first schock of having to get up at 6.15 to go to the forest…( I did curse both myself and Tim for this insane idea when the alarm went off:)) I kind of forgot about that when arriving to Bambush at 7 in the morning…the Peacefulness, the birds singing and the Fresh air just hit me and I was so Happy to just being there!
2. Sprinting up some hills to the sound of Bird Song is, believe it or not, a lot more MOTIVATING than sprinting on the treadmill to an old bad Scooter Song…
3. We were all Sweating bucket loads BUT You can’t acctually smell it…instead you just smell the Freshness of the Forest and if that is not an Excuse to join Forest Fit I don’t know what is…
