PCYC Huon Valley and RMC Join Forces

PCYC and RMC are joining forces together with support of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation to provide youth, between 14-20 years of age, a free 20 week all-access membership. This is a fantastic opportunity for youth that are finishing winter sport and looking for an activity to participate in through the summer period, an inactive adolescent who is wanting to engage within their community in a healthy and positive manner or simply a teenager who wants to exercise along side their parent or friend.

Please reach out to Bianca Jackman at Huon Valley PCYC via email - bianca.jackman@hvpcyc.org.au or drop in to the centre through the week

Running Events News

Bruny Island ultra marathon relay - That's right, it's that time of year for one of Tasmania's most enjoyable distance running events. It's not very often you get to participate in a distance running event like this in a relay style.

Get a team together from 2-8 people (ideally, no more than 6) and travel from the top of Bruny Island (Dennes Point) all the way down to the bottom to the lighthouse. 1 team member runs at a time whilst your team vehicle meets you at your next check point. Check points are at every 2km. You can ran as far or as little as you like.

We know there are lots of people interested in this event this year. If you are keen to organise your own team please go ahead. If you are wanting to participate and don't have enough people to make a team, please message Brad directly to show your interest. We will do our best to find a spot for everyone.

RMC Studio Details- Strength/Cardio/Recovery/ Mat Pilates

FOCUS THIS WEEK IS ECCENTRIC

• The focus is on very slow and control movement patterns, particularly on the stretching out of the muscle

• You should feel the stretch and emphasise the slowness of that phase of the exercise (for example- straight leg deadlift- very slow on the lowering down- feel the stretch through their hamstrings)

• Eccentric exercises allow the muscle to tear to then build stronger and bigger muscles- fantastic way to get stronger faster

• Members can use moderate to heavy weight

•  As it is a slow movement, ensure they maintain great trunk control and technique throughout

• Reach out to our instructors if you would like to know which muscles are working when.

GENERAL CLASS REMINDERS

• Please take SWEAT TOWELS and drink bottles with you throughout the session.

• Please advise the instructor if you have any new or old injuries that they should be aware of or will impact your training. We will support you with your exercise and provide alternative exercises.

• Please be prompt to classes as we aim to start demonstration on time.
