F&S Outdoor Days in Västeras

daniela — 2010-06-06T20:02:39Z

Brussels instructors discover that “power comes from within” at Friskis & Svettis Outdoor Days in Västeras

Even the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland and resulting ash cloud which disrupted air travel throughout Europe could not stop the Brussels Outdoor team attending the first edition of the Friskis & Svettis Outdoor Days! This was a day and half of theory and practical sessions covering Jogging, Nordic Walking, Cross and leadership.

See pictures

The Brussels team used opportunity to brush-up on techniques, learn about new directions and mix with other outdoor instructors within F&S to share experiences and tips.

Beau, who attended all the jogging sessions, found the quality of the practical training and the friendly advice from the other Outdoor Instructors was of great value and will help improve the quality of his sessions in Brussels. In addition, he found that “power comes from within” after attending the challenging military-style jogging-assault course session!

Anne joined the Nordic Walking sessions as well as indoor workshops on flexibility and strength and gave it a try with Junior Cross, a fun session for kids between 7 and 12 years. Running, strength and oxygen workout and all this in a play way. The kids really enjoyed and so did the adults.

Gabi tried a little bit of everything, starting with Nordic Walking, NW cross, jogging for beginners and advanced ones. The strength and flexibility exercises indoor were very much appreciated by the muscles and offered a good contrast to the outdoor sessions.

Joseph also did a mix of theory and practical sessions covering jogging, Nordic Walking and indoor activities. As it was Joseph's first time in Sweden, the opportunity to meet other Friskis people and feel part of the big family was very motivating.

Jorge, who attended four jogging sessions, got a lot of new "savoir-faire" in terms of jogging techniques. He also realised that "beauty comes from inside but…". Well, It was worth to be there!

Brussels 20k

daniela — 2010-05-31T15:20:00Z

Since more than 10 years Friskis&Svettis sponsors a team braving the 20k of Brussels. Just to prove it, here are some of the proud though slightly sore survivors from the F&S 20k team 2010.

Thanks not least to Hans Baes and Beau Sheriff for getting us in shape through the F&S Joggings sessions and to Lene and our sponsor Intersport for help with the T-shirts! The 20K team also asked to acknowledge the example of Calle, the F&S Chairman for his ongoing leadership and support.

All the results of individual runners and teams can be found on www.20kmdebruxelles.be.

Interested in joining next year? Tick of the last Sunday in May 2011 and start training!

Instructors' Workshop

Anne — 2010-05-13T20:58:10Z

Brussels instructors work on their ability to give the participants an experience as well as a workout!

None of us are born perfect, which is why F&S Brussels arranges regular workshops for its instructors, to help them develop in their roles.

Our last workshop on 8 May, lead by Cecilia Kulich, was an exercise in leadership styles that can help our participants to profit maximally from the different parts of the sessions offered.

“Interesting, dynamic, comprehensive and surprisingly exciting... It provided valuable advice and insights into the body expression potentiality” - Simona Lai
