path – so when five of you within the group<br />
are personal trainers, of course the gauntlet<br />
was thrown down - let’s run it. At this stage I<br />
had fallen over many times, I was tired, sore<br />
and felt like I had nothing left in the tank.<br />
But, as soon as that challenge was put out<br />
there, I accepted it.<br />
I can’t explain how exhilarating it is when<br />
you feel like you have nothing left to give,<br />
then turn around, rise to the challenge and<br />
give it 110 percent. The best moment of the<br />
trip was sprinting around the final corner,<br />
after thinking “this is never going to end” to<br />
see the boys’ faces light up and hear them<br />
cheering for me – it made my day perfect!<br />
I got more out of the crossing than I’ve<br />
got out of any workout I’ve done in a gym in<br />
a long time. Not just physically, but emotionally<br />
and spiritually. To be able to reconnect<br />
with nature, solitude, people and myself was<br />
such a great feeling and well overdue.<br />
It reminded me that no amount of treadmill<br />
sprints, squats, lunges or training could<br />
have prepared me physically for this trip.<br />
What could have prepared me was doing<br />
the things I love – running around the lake,<br />
hiking up to the Hakarimatas summit, being<br />
at one with nature.<br />
There’s always going to be a need and demand<br />
for gyms, and I personally love working<br />
out and working from a gym, however<br />
they aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay.<br />
For the general population, it pays to<br />
remember that the world is your oyster and<br />
you have everything you need at your back<br />
door. So, if the gym doesn’t fit your lifestyle<br />
don’t worry. We live in a country where we<br />
can train outdoors, we have our own gym<br />
called New Zealand. It is free, fun and a great<br />
way to start your wellbeing journey.<br />
My advice is ‘don’t let excuses hold you<br />
back’. Our mind is our greatest ally and our<br />
strongest enemy at the same time. Just like<br />
our body, the mind needs training - mental<br />
strength is just as important as physical<br />
strength and once you start working on your<br />
physical health you’ll be amazed how much<br />
it helps your mental wellbeing.<br />
A blessing of living in Waikato is that we<br />
are central to a vast array of active adventure<br />
locations. So why wait? Start today - find<br />
a walking track, a bush walk, a trail run –<br />
anything that can get you outside and get<br />
you moving. Become one with nature, bask<br />
in its glory, embrace its ambience and enjoy<br />
Aotearoa – the land of the outdoor gym.<br />
