Aerobics Success for Paige and Sadie

Hi Tahuna Students and Caregivers!

You probably are wondering what is Aerobics? Well, Aerobics is a physical exercise mashed with dance and acrobatics involving judges, competitors and competitions and loads of exercises, strength, and fitness.

There is so many great opportunities at Tahuna!! Aerobics is one of the opportunities taken by Miss Carvel. But 2 of our Tahuna students just went to Christchurch to compete in Aerobics ( Sadie O’Donnell) (Paige Carrington) They represented Queens Aerobics!! Paige and Sadie represent Queens Aerobics and have been doing aerobics for: Paige: 4-5 years and Sadie: 3-4 years

The competition was Pacific open meaning that was out of Australia and New Zealand. The competition was a 2-day comp. Both girls both made the finals!

NZCAF: Paige Carrington 3rd out of New Zealand and Australia

FISAF: Sadie O’Donnell 3rd out of New Zealand and Australia

NZCAF: There are 3 different age groups in NZCAF- (primary, High school and intermediate) with 7 at least different categories in each age group. NZCAF means - the New Zealand Competition of Sport Aerobics Federation. NZCAF is normally the first category you would go to before FISAF but not always!

FISAF:

FISAF is a whole different section than NZCAF they still compete at all the same comps but FISAF is a different category because it means you are able to get selected for World Champions. This year they are all the way in Brazil. How do you get to go to Brazil you might ask?? You have Judges that normally probably judge you. They will remember your routine and if they think you're really good and good enough to represent the New Zealand Sport Aerobics Team they will select you !! FISAF means- Federation of International Sport Aerobics and Fitness.

Our favourite things about Aerobics:

Paige: My favourite thing about aerobics is the training and the competitions. And all of the Queens Aerobics family and my friends.

Sadie: My favourite things about aerobics are Competitions, Friends, make-up and the supportive Queens Aerobics family just everything about it!!

Incredible results for these Tahuna girls!! Many other competitions to come and many other Tahuna students going to upcoming competitions

Thank you for reading
