Ultimately we want these Games (also referred to as 'The Gaia Fitness Collective Games' & 'The Gaia Games') to be fun, but please stick to the rules, allotted distances & reps, so it feels fair for everyone.
IMPORTANT:
The Gaia Games is a demanding event, you enter these Games at your own risk. By entering the Games we assume you are familiar with the moves, weights, form & come prepared (including appropriate clothing & water).
We do however recommend The Gaia Games Bootcamps in the previous weeks (Sundays) to help familiarise yourself with the moves, to build up strength & stamina.
BRING ID on the day.
NO WATER STATIONS at this time. We are working to change this, but it's unlikely to happen before this year's event. So please bring your filled water bottles.
An area will be allocated for your bottles - please label them for ease. Local convenience stores are available.
TOILETS: Nearest toilets are 5mins walk away at Oxleas Cafe (crossing Shooters Hill Road).
EXERCISE SPECIFICS:
RUN: Sprint, jog, skip or walk.
EXERCISE 1: DUMBBELL SNATCH: Single arm, DB should come down to a full hang and come to full extension overhead to reduce chance of injury. You may swap sides at your discretion.
EXERCISE 2: BURPEE BROAD JUMPS: This will be for distance, please ensure hands do not fall forward (infront) a huge amount so as to 'gain distance' or you will be asked to go back a step. As you come down for your burpee, hands should be placed near the feet. When coming up from the bottom of the burpee, feet should come close to meet the hands.
GROUP 1: Burpee requires chest to floor.
GROUP 2: does NOT require chest to floor.
EXERCISE 3: LUNGE WALK: Full lunge, knee to connect with the floor.
EXERCISE 4: BEAR CRAWL: Hands & feet only to touch the floor when moving. Gloves may be worn.
HAVE BREAKS IF YOU NEED THEM: but please don't come away from the 'circuit'.
KEEP GOOD FORM & STAY SAFE.
