Good Afternoon RMC'ers,
A huge congratulations and well done to all who participated or were involved with the 2024 Hilltop Hike. RMC raised a massive $2,600 to support mental health and suicide prevention here in the Huon Valley. A cause that is well and truly worth raising funds for, knowing the impact it will have on our local community.
We want to keep this awareness in the forefront of our minds, if you know of any youth who needs support or guidance, reach out. Run Move Connect is affiliated with the The Right Place and have the tools to point them in the direction and connect with the appropriate community service.
A big shout out to our volunteers on the day. We loved having our first aiders mixed throughout the hilltop hikers- you supported and motivated the community and we can’t thank you enough for keeping them safe.
The Barnett family had some fun climbing the hill together. What incredible role models you both are to Milo, Matilda and Monty.

Wondered what improving your strength and fitness can help you achieve?
Check out these amazing women who have been travelling around Laos. We have missed them very much but they are making an incredible difference to many lives and communities.
RMC Team: Nicola Smith, Pam Lane, Tamara Tucker, Rebecca Bell and Brenda Hoekstra
They had a goal to build physical fitness and strength to support them on this trip and in life. They needed to withstand long physical working days (as you can see in the picture above), extensive walking and maintain a clean bill of health. Exercise can play a huge role in this and they were so dedicated in achieving their individual goals. We are so proud!!!
The team has achieved so much during their time here:
School library building project
Delivered educational supplies to 3 village schools
Supported the Luang Prabang Library to deliver pop up libraries, books and hygiene supplies in 3 remote schools
Delivered mosquito nets to an entire village
Delivered reading glasses to 2 villages
Delivered equipment to the Free the Bears program
Supported the Elephant Conservation Center
Delivered donations to Laos Friends Hospital for Children
Supported Khaiphaen by Friends Kitchen hospitality school for disadvantaged young people
If you are interested in being involved in an adventure like this, reach out to Pam and Nic. There are trips planned for next year and we have a few RMC members and instructors already booked for this rewarding experience.

Strength Session Details for upcoming fortnight.
Week starting 21.10.2024
Strength Class Focus: Body Control (Old focus but with added spice)
Focussing on developing our body awareness and proprioception through bands and sliders.
Encouraging slow and controlled movement to enhance stability and balance.
Proprioception is understanding your body in space and the exercises chosen will challenge this perception and you will develop tools to manage technique execution.
Be ready to exercise together as a team!
Week starting 28.10.2024
Strength Class Focus: Overload
Overload is one of our favourite focus areas as you are challenged to maintain good technique despite muscular fatigue.
This is very relatable to everyday function
Muscular endurance is vital for every day function. It ensures we stay upright with good posture, reduces lower back discomfort by maintaining good pelvic stability and develops lower limb strength to assist with walking and every ambulating activities.
Always focus on technique as you will fatigue in the muscle quite quickly
Light to Moderate resistance recommended with 12-15 repetitions performed
If you are unsure what muscles are working when; chat to our instructors
Pilates Session Details for upcoming fortnight.
Week starting 21.10.2024
🕺🏼Pilates for Mobility 🕺🏼
Mobility comprises all the skills required for everyday living: physical stamina, strength, balance, coordination, and range of motion.

With mobility as our focus, classes this week will provide the opportunity to build on stability and strength through a full range of movement.

🦵🏻Unilateral Focus 🦵🏻
Unilateral exercises are movements performed on one side of the body or using one arm or leg (instead of two) to perform the move.
Many of the movements you naturally do in daily life and sports are technically unilateral movements. Incorporating unilateral moves into your training prepares you for those actions, as well as even offering even more perks including the ability to isolate and strengthen specific muscle groups, correct muscle imbalances to prevent injuries, improves balance and stability and can boost core strength and overall performance.
