Weekly Fitness Challenge

Again, the week is drawing to a close. I have been unable to get here to write to you... my bad.

The challenge this week is to do three classes. And of course you can carry that challenge into next week.

I have taught two spinning classes and have gone for a run.

Remember do something. Get up and get moving!

College Term Has Begun....

Sometimes, I forget I am a role model. I am busy being "my own superhero" to coin a phrase from a new twitter friend. And yet, at the commencement of every college term, I have a new group of students (this semester 160) that are looking to me for direction.

And of we go......

The challenges I have imposed on these kids are:

--- NO MEAT MONDAYS! -- My class this morning told me they didn't know what to eat and they were hungry!

--- TAKING THE STAIRS! (NOT THE ELEVATOR or ESCALATOR) -- it is really cool to run into your students in the stair well, or see them walking to class instead of waiting for the elevator.

---To EAT MORE FRUIT AND VEGGIES-- yes, some think french fries and/or chocolate all into those categories...

and lastly,

---To DRINK MORE WATER!!! (and hopefully eliminate the soda).... i have heard the complaint of running to the loo.....

well, they are progressing through the challenges.... and surviving... (maybe they will find a world of food out there beyond burgers and fries ) and maybe they will be impacted to improve their overall health.

I have also offered to workout with them... (b/c they all wanted 'training')... twice a week. So far, no one has come to work out with me. But it's ok... I am there at the gym anyway, cycling, moving steel, stretching and doing what is best for me.

So, why not take the challenge my students have accepted and take a step toward better health.

This Week is Low-Impact.

Somehow, I missed last week which was STEP! So, my challenge to you.... do both. That's right! You heard me... two classes, two very different classes... and go for it!!!

Most importantly, bring a friend who might not go to a fitness class that might enjoy it. The two of you can enjoy getting fit(ter) together.

Have a super week!
