Corey Walden (left) and Dan McGrath at Logan Park earlier this week, are set to be part of a Highlanders fitness programme. A Highlanders fitness programme which was piloted three years ago with some major success is back again on a much larger scale and is being whirled out to other parts of the country. An exercise programme developed by former Highlander Buxton Popoali'i would be used on the physical side of things to get the fans all hot and bothered. There was a significant decrease in waist circumference, lower resting HR, improved diastolic blood pressure and improved fitness. After just Highlanders fans being involved last time around, the programme was being rolled out to fans of the Blues and the Warriors league team while fans of the Crusaders may come on board.
