Couples who train<br />
together, stay together<br />
Husband and wife Annie<br />
and Bill Konnings<br />
wholeheartedly agree<br />
that doing exercise and training<br />
together is more than just<br />
keeping in shape.<br />
"We always try to egg<br />
each other along," says Annie,<br />
who has proudly called<br />
Bill her workout partner since<br />
1995. That was when Annie<br />
persuaded Bill to come along<br />
to The Healthy Heart group –<br />
now a part of UniRec’s LifeFit<br />
programme, and they’ve both<br />
been members ever since.<br />
They regularly attend UniRec<br />
classes at the University of<br />
Waikato campus on Tuesday<br />
and Friday mornings aimed at<br />
strength and cardiovascular<br />
fitness.<br />
CLASS TIMES:<br />
Even back in their native<br />
Holland, Bill and Annie had<br />
active lifestyles and the benefits<br />
of working out together<br />
extend far beyond the gym.<br />
It’s not only something that<br />
keeps their bodies healthy and<br />
fights signs of ageing, but also<br />
endears them to one another<br />
more and more.<br />
"It makes the commitment<br />
so much easier and we both<br />
have peace of mind that our<br />
partner is doing all they can to<br />
keep moving and staying fit,"<br />
says Annie.<br />
“It’s a great group and<br />
we’re part of a very unique,<br />
social and caring family so it’s<br />
always great to catch up with<br />
the members that are part of<br />
the LifeFit group that gather<br />
every week morning”.<br />
Annie and Bill are among<br />
the 152 active senior members<br />
at UniRec, and one of 21<br />
couples in UniRec’s LifeFit programme.<br />
The UniRec LifeFit programme<br />
is designed for seniors,<br />
people with green<br />
prescriptions or medical conditions<br />
and others needing<br />
additional support and encouragement<br />
to be active. The<br />
programme offers enjoyable,<br />
social and achievable exercise<br />
sessions that focus on resistance<br />
and cardiovascular training<br />
at a light and manageable<br />
pace.<br />
