Happy New Year!
 
With the New Year comes new resolutions. Get Fit with us! Let VO2 Multisport support you throughout your fitness goals this year!

Check out the video below to see an update on Dan's, with Great Day Live, fitness progress so far. VO2 Multisport is so proud of his hard work and dedication! http://bit.ly/1RhTvFB

3 Easy Tips To Stay Fit This Winter:
1. Take the Stairs!  Forget the elevator and opt for the stairs. Take them 2 at a time to increase the intensity.
2. Active TV watching.  While you are binge watching Netflix, try doing squats or jumping jacks during each segment.
3. Carry a water bottle with you!  Being hydrated not only makes you feel more energized, it can help combat muscle fatigue, and helps your kidneys function better.


 

 
At VO2 Multisport, we have all the water bottles and fitness gear the new you could ever want. Stop in to check out our new inventory!
 

Power Session II


Don't lose strength and power this winter! 
 
         Our Power Session II starts next Tuesday, January 12. Give us a call at 502-290-7433 to learn more. Power meters are not required for class. 
 
    Power Session II will go through Thursday, February 25.

3 Tips For The Week Before Ironman Louisville

We're just one week out from Ironman Louisville. At this point, you've trained all you can train, so what should you do during the week before the big race? Here are three tips for you to  remember leading up to race day.

1. Rest!
You've spent the last couple months pushing your body, running, swimming, and biking to get your body in Ironman shape. Use this week to rest your muscles and your mind. You don't want to over work yourself. So go to bed early, try not to interrupt your normal sleep pattern and rest assure that you've done all you can to prepare for race day.

2. Don't Try Anything New
Don't even think about getting new running shoes, trying out a new swimsuit, or switching to  a new type of seat for bike. The best thing you can do is exactly what you've been doing in the months and weeks leading up to the race. 

3. Visualize Yourself Racing   
This week spend about 15 minutes each night in a quiet place. Try to eliminate all distractions during this time. Close your eyes and imagine yourself in the race. Picture yourself swimming through the Ohio, removing your wetsuit, putting on your helmet, lacing up your running shoes. Visualize every detail of what you will be doing on race day so that at race time you already know what and how you will do it.  

"Swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles- BRAG FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE." 
-John Collins, IRONMAN Founder
