Prostar Football League in Wellington

The Princess Royal Sports Complex's Monday evening football league has been relaunched thanks to a new sponsorship deal.

The new name for the 6 a-side football league is Prostar Leagues.

The deal not only means a change of name for the league run by Soccersixes Ltd, it also brings with it benefits for local sides, including matches played with top of the range Prostar footballs, branded bibs and kits. 

League winners will now receive top quality Prostar strips, runner's up trophies as well as the top goal scorers.

Any new teams looking to get involved in the Wellington 6 a-side league, played on the facility's all-weather pitch, should contact the organisers on 0870 330 0888 or visit www.prostarleagues.com to sign up.

Awarding winning fitness equipment

Out go the old steppers and cross trainers, to be replaced by three awarding winning Cybex Arc Trainers and a brand new stepper.

The Arc Trainer is a total unique kind of cross trainer, combining elements of a climber, cross-trainer and cross-country skier.

The science behind the Arc’s big calorie burn is the Arc motion it is definitely not a traditional elliptical cross trainer.

It engages the right muscles – quads and glutes – that demand lots of energy from the body when they are called upon to work.

That means calorie burn and, because the Arc is demanding of the muscles – not the joints, it can be used longer without putting a strain on the knees, hip or back.

At lower incline levels, the "glide" is a cross country skier.

In the mid-range levels, the motion is a "stride" (like an elliptical except with proper positioning).

At the high levels, the "climb" of a stepper or climber. One machine trains for strength, power, endurance, cardio, and weight loss.

Fitness Room updated

Fitness members, staff and pupils are in for a treat when they return in January, thanks to the arrival of four brand new CV machines for the PRSC fitness room.

The old Life Fitness steppers and cross trainers have gone and have been replaced with brand new equipment, all part of Wellington School's continued investment in equipment and the facilities at the PRSC.

The PRSC has continued its partnership with leading US fitness equipment supplier, Cybex International, which saw the arrival of new fitness bikes, treadmill and leg press machine in the last few years.

Tumie Ngakane will be running sessions throughout January to ensure that everybody knows exactly how the new equipment works and how to get the most out of them.
