SWAN Hill personal trainer Darren Keune is set to launch the next phase of AFL Active to the local community.
AFL Active in conjunction with VicHealth’s Changing the Game campaign is a group fitness program built on the traditional Australian football principles of endurance, agility and dynamic movement and combining them into a varied workout.
Mr Keune said AFL Active was a great initiative to get people exercising.
“It’s such a different spin on group fitness,” he said.
“People go to the gym and are used to a regimented fitness program, but this fitness program has a lot of variety.”
Mr Keune said the program was quite progressive and built participants fitness throughout the term.
“It is AFL-themed but you don’t have to handball or kick, but it incorporates AFL fitness components,” he said.
“The plan is to run Sunday sessions during the schooling term at Tower Hill’s Barry Stegall park.
“The classes go for 50 minutes so you are in and out in one hour.”
AFL Active fits in with a VicHealth initiative designed to encourage women and girls to become more involved in sport.
