Surge toward better fitness

The challenge in which all took part showed off the new outside fitness area at the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence, and how much fun cross-fitness training can be. Under the sun shades and blue sky, Nathan Merritt of the South Sydney Rabbitohs was the judge for all the day’s competitions. There were three events in all and neither team held back. The first event was weight lifting, the second was for cardio and the third was a relay.

Spectators had the privilege of seeing many weights lifted, step ups onto high boxes, exercise bikes ridden, rowing machines pushed and pulled, with accompanying grunts and laughs.

NCIE Centre Manager PJ Borrell thought it was a great way to showcase the new outside training ground called the Pit. Cross-fitness classes will be held at the Pit for members and the public. There will be eight or nine classes in coming weeks (see the NCIE website for details: www.ncie.org.au). “It was really good to be able to see and show that girls can go just as hard as the boys in training – training is good and training is fun – and that everyone at the event was backing each other up,” PJ said.

The NSW Surge are training hard for their inaugural match against the Queensland Brigade at Centrebet Stadium on December 7. It will be the first game of an exciting Legends Football League season.
