Living Streets walks 2010

You could say I am a stranger to exercise. Exercise has never been on the forefront of my day-to-day life.

This year I am making a serious effort to train for the police entrance exam, and thought I'd enter the 7 km walk/run around the bays as yet another reason to keep motivated.

My main training programme is C25K that I've just found recently. I am using Robert Ullrey's C25K podcasts that I downloaded from iTunes.

I also go walking on Tuesdays with the Living Streets group.

All links are on the left of this page.

The blog isn't obvious, but it's in the right hand bottom corner of the website.

Cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke & blood vessel disease) is the single leading cause of death in New Zealand. It causes 40 percent of all deaths annually in our country. The nature of who is affected by it is changing. New research shows that young adults in their 20s and 30s are being admitted to hospital for heart attacks more than ever before. Much of this change is due to unhealthy lifestyles - poor eating habits, lack of physical activity, and being a smoker.

I've signed up as a Heart Racer to raise money to support the Heart Foundation. By donating through my webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programmes and resources.

I'll keep training, but I am prone to giving up, so keeping this website will keep me motivated and 'honest'.

If you want to help me by showing your support, and to help the Heart Foundation with your actual money, select the "Make a donation" button below. It's simple, fast, and secure, and the money goes directly to the Heart Foundation's bank account.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

Many thanks for your support.
