Footscray Hockey Club has partnered up with Hockey Victoria to pilot KE40, a brand new program under the banner of HV’s social hockey initiatives.
So what is KE40? It is a great cardio workout that will save you time, increase your fitness and you can even pick up a few hockey skills along the way too! Developed between the staff at Hockey Victoria and Acceleration Melbourne, KE40 incorporates sports science objectives into a fun and time efficient hockey program!
The program is open to all participants, while hopefully appealing to hockey parents who spend their time on the sideline waiting for their kids to finish training. The idea behind the program is simple – quit being the spectator on the sidelines and take part in a team based fitness program that will get you puffing more than the players. Any level, any age and all abilities can take part in the program that is designed with a 40/20 philosophy in mind. 40 seconds of effort / 20 seconds of active recovery.Be motivated alongside like-minded participants, learn from a university qualified sport science coach from Acceleration Melbourne and achieve results in your own time!
KE40 will commence on Wednesday 14 June and will be delivered at the club from 5:40pm to 6:20pm on the following dates: 14 June, 21 June and 28 June (free introductory sessions) and 19 July, 26 July, 2 August, 9 August and 16 August (paid sessions – $10 per session).
