Hi-Tec has partnered with Sport Science Institute of South Africa to present a six-week fitness and lifestyle re-boot programme. This Hi-Tec Boot Camp with SSISA rewards participants with improved fitness, motivation to exercise and the skills to make positive lifestyle choices.
Hi-Tec Boot Camp with SSISA is an outdoor training programme that caters for two different levels of fitness. ‘Lite’ is ideal for those new to exercise and for those who have not exercised for some time and sessions take place in the early evenings. The ‘Elite’ programme, which has early morning sessions, is perfect for those who train regularly and are currently active.
The course includes comprehensive fitness assessments at the start and end of course, six weeks of three weekly hour-long outdoor sessions and two workshops with SSISA professionals, including a dietitian, biokineticist, psychologist and a yoga guru. The outdoor sessions incorporate endurance and cardio fitness, strength and conditioning, core stability work, short distance running, circuit training, hiking, hill work, obstacle course time trials, yoga and some rope jumping.
All participants receive a Hi-Tec Boot Camp survival kit, which includes a branded tog bag, moisture-wicking tee, a pair of Hi-Tec socks, a water bottle and a special-rates voucher for the SISSA Wellness and Fitness Centre and its programmes and services. Participants also stand a chance to win a pair of Hi-Tec hiking boots or sandals and free membership to SSISA’s other programmes and offerings.
“We’re very excited about presenting this outdoor programme,” says Kathy Mc Quaide-Little, SSISA’s marketing and media manager. “SSISA has long been associated with elite athletes when it really is a resource available to everyone, whether they’re starting out, returning to exercise after a long hiatus or looking to improve their training and performance. Our Hi-Tec Boot Camp blends professional consultations with fun and motivational outdoor activities.”
The programmes start on 1 March 2011 with assessments. An informative workshop gets the ball rolling on 3 March 2011 and the first class will be held on Monday, 7 March 2011. Most classes, which take place Mon-Wed-Thurs (Lite, 17h45-18h45) and Mon-Wed-Fri (Elite, 06h00-07h00), are held in Newlands, Cape Town at the Westerford fields – but several forest and mountain sessions are included too. Indoor facilities are available in the event of bad weather. The rate is R1950.00 per person for the six-week Hi-Tec Boot Camp with SSISA, all inclusive.
