p Selwyn’s Emily Lawn will represent New Zealand at the World Sports Aerobics Championships in Serbia
Lawn will be a part of the New Zealand team heading to the World Champs in Belgrade, Serbia in October. “I have been to three World Championships so far, in Russia, Serbia, and Australia,” Lawn says. “Our best result was being placed seventh at the 2011 World Champs in Australia. I competed in all these competitions as part of a team, and this year’s world champs are the first time I have been selected as an individual, which is a whole new challenge.” Lawn says competitive sports aerobics is a sport where all elements of physical fitness come into play. “We perform a two minute routine to music, in which we must include a range of different skill elements including press-ups, jumps, static strength moves, and show flexibility.

“There are no rests, it’s two minutes of non-stop high intensity exercise. We are judged on how well we complete each move, how energetically we perform the routine, how well the routine suits the music, and much more.” Lawn says she first came across aerobics when she was in Year 7 at school, when another Lincoln girl advertised in the school notices that she was looking for people to coach. “A friend and I decided it sounded hilarious, and dared each other to go. An hour later we had been picked for a team. “I competed at school level for two years and was then picked to be in a fitness team with six other girls from around Canterbury. We qualified for Worlds and I have had the desire to represent New Zealand ever since.” continued on page 7 …
