New Session begins!!

We are days away from beginning the new session!  August 26th is our tentative start date.  I say tentative because I am waiting on hearing back from my liability insurance.  That will be our goal date, but if by chance I haven't gotten the liability insurance up and running, it will be the following Monday, September the 2nd!  My goal is the 26th because I know you are all as anxious as I am.

Some changes right off the bat: 
1. 5 week long sessions (with the possible exception of our first session--fingers crossed!)

2. New times:
Fitness Classes:  
MWF 5:45a-6:45a
MW 9a-10a *new time
Buggy Classes
MW 10:15a-11:15a *new time
TTH 9:30a-10:30a  *new time

3. New Pricing:
Fitness Classes:
MWF 5:45's: Same pricing options one, two, or three classes a week---your choice
MW 9's: Whole session only (no one or two classes).  You will pay a deposit to hold your spot and on the first day of class total price will be determined by number of participants.  The more participants, the lower the session cost.  For example: 4 people $120 for the session or 10 people $60 for the session. Each additional person brings the cost down.  You can pay your deposit online via paypal!

Buggy Classes:
Same as always, must have a minimum of 5 participants and the more participants the lower the cost per class.  For example: 5 participants $110 or up to 10 for $60.  You can pay your deposit online via paypal!

**Accepting Cash, Check, or Credit card payments due the first day of class.


Can't wait to see you all at the park!  Check your email and/or the blog for updates!

In the love of fitness,
Danielle

Nancy's Final Challenge: 30-day Ab Challenge

Okay, here's my final challenge to you:  See if you can commit to this 30-day Ab Challenge.  Complete the following exercises, 1x each day for 30-days and see if you feel any stonger by the end.  As soon as you start it, continue EACH day for 30-days!

In you dayplanner, calendar, or phone, record each day's results. 

Do 20 crunches, 20 bicycles (r/l=1), 20 leg drops*, 20 scissors** (r/l = 1), 20 butt bridges, and one forearm plank (toes, NO knees) holding as long as possible.

Then:
1 day/week:  time how long it takes you to complete the 100 ab moves listed above and record your results.
Each day:  time how long you can hold your plank.
Do your best to beat your numbers.  Good luck!  I'd love to hear how it goes, and how you feel at the end of the 30-days!

*leg drops:  on your back with legs together and at a 90degree angle to hips.  Keep legs together and lower them as close to the ground without lifting or straining your lower back.  Return to start. 
**scissors:  start in same position as leg drops but lower one leg at a time, scissoring your legs.
With both moves, feel free to put your hands under your hips to help support your lower back.

FYI:  My times today (I was focusing on full range of motion and good form, rather than speed):
100:  2 minutes 36 seconds
Plank:  90 seconds

I will miss you all.  I will be around if you would like to set up personal training or buddy trainings.  Just give me a call:  459-0681, email:  murrays1234@sbcglobal.net, or fb  (Nancy Murray)

With the love of health and fitness,
Nancy
