Those keen to get fit will get more bang for their buck by
doing short, intense spurts of exercise rather than going for
a traditional jog or bike ride, a sports scientist says.
It's time to get in shape for summer, so Gary
Dawkins, of Creative Conditioning at River Ridge Retreat,
takes us through the second part of our 10-week

programme.

warriors, fitness fanatics and couch potatoes alike will soon
be inspired to rev up their routines.
Dunedin professional runner Anna Frost has competed in the

on the hills and beaches around the city which was her early
training ground. Here Anna shares the fifth of her favourite
runs in the heart of the city.
