GET IN SHAPE
HAVE FUN
ACHIEVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

The UCD Sports Centre in co-operation with the School of Physiotherapy and Performance Science is running a 5 week programme of activities, which will be targeted at students who are not physically active at present.

The course will run from the 30th of January to the 3rd March and will include FREE health evaluations, informative talks on fitness/nutrirtion/motivation, beginner's fitness classes and fun sporting events.

The aim of this programme is to introduce students to the benefits and enjoyment of regular participation in physical activity. There will be no costs associated with this programme but places are limited so please apply early.

To sign up for this six week programme or for further information please contact Carmel Kissane on 7162422 or e-mail carmel.kissane@ucd.ie.

Last Date to apply via e-mail is Friday January 27th.

All volunteers will then be sent an e-mail with an appointment slot to attend for pre-participation screening and this should take place during the week starting date Monday Jan 30th.

Yours in Sport,

Last date was a while ago, no harm giving them a ring i suppose

There are quite a few doing it I'd say, today was the last day of testing so I doubt they'll be taking any more in. Today in my group there were about 9 people.. that was just one session.. and there were another 3/4 sessions today.

I'm really looking forward to it, I just hope I won't be mortified.. it's supposed to be for people who are not physically active at present.. so hopefully other people will be in the same boat!!

fitness......me hole

BKtje

was gonna sign up as id be interested in a fitness test but decided im probably too active.

WHat exactly they do? That bike thing? what else?

panda100

Yeah-I saw that!thats such a good idea.Was gonna do it but with campaigning and such decided not to do it.Is there a prize for the fittest person??

Stabshauptmann

I wouldnt have the time, so doubt I fit the active criteria

Tiriel

it's the perfect excuse for me.. it's organised by someone else.. so I can't pull out so easily! I'm hoping that I won't be the odd one out, I haven't done any sport in ages, so fitness is low enough.. like the way they are monitoring progress too.. always an incentive!

Vorsprung

They told my group that there'd be some sort of talk/lecture on some Friday, I thought it was going to be today but no email. Anyone know when it's on?

Tiriel

not sure but they did say that we probably wouldn't hear from them until today.. and that next week to expect things to start moving. :eek:
