Fun with Yumi Lee!

We turned our workout up a notch and did a weight training circuit with Yumi Lee on my NextFit Keychain Trainer. She's trained Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Demi Moore and now Lance, Leora and me, how cool is that! She worked our core and legs with some cardio mixed in, and the music kept us pushing, it was Awesome! We're looking forward to this Saturday's (Nov. 28th) workout to help burn off all that yummy turkey and pie from our wonderful Thanksgiving feasts. To be in the church gym (2700 w. surrey rd) this week we have to go early so we're meeting at 7:00 am (unless I can change locations, so double check here again before sat. for any changes). I know its early for a holiday weekend but it will get ya going and excited to put up the Christmas lights that day!

Circuit Success!

With the real chill of winter here Saturday morning, we moved inside for our first, fun, circuit routine. We had to work the bugs out a little bit as we got familiar with the different exercises but we got to "boogy" to disco music while we pumped some iron, stretched some bands, and shadow boxed till our hearts content! The Jackson's two youngest boys were there working out with us (okay, one read a book but the other one jumped in the circuit with us); what a great example their parents are setting for a life of fitness! We also welcomed a newcomer to our group, we'll just call her Jan as she preferred her name to be left top secret ;). It was great having her come, she added a spark to our groups' enthusiasm and is sad that she has to work this Saturday, November 21, during our 8:00 am cardio circuit workout at the church (2700 w. Surrey road which is 5735ish S.), but is coming to workout with me during the week to make up for it. Good Job Jan! We look forward to seeing new faces this week as we gear up for Thanksgiving!

Beautiful Fall Morning

(picture: my Mom & Dad, Lance & Leora Jackson)

It was a very nice morning for a Fall walk, although it wasn't just a stroll in the park. We did a walk with Kathy Smith on my Keychain Trainer and she really got our hearts pumping it was great! I must say congratulations to my Mom for coming out, sore knee and all. She did what she could and said she felt great afterwards. This was a big first step for her getting started with exercising again. Thats why we are here to help you and others get started and keep going through these winter months. This saturday, Nov. 14th, we will meet inside the church, 2700 w 5735 s. (surrey rd.), at 8:00 am since it looks like we may have snow.

If there are other groups meeting together in their areas let me know and we can help spread the word for those that want to meet up. Keep up the good work on your weekday workouts!

Lets Enjoy the Warm Weather Together

This week has been a great week for being outside cleaning up our yards, playing with kids, and of course working out in the fall, fresh air! I want to top this week off by getting together again Saturday morning, Nov. 7th, at 7:30 am at the church on 2700 w. and about 5800 s. (Surrey rd, its just north of Bennion Jr. high). Dress appropriately we plan on being outside with this warm spell. This is a great way to visit with friends so bring them along! It was a great workout last week but will be even better with more of you there. Hope we all survived the holiday weekend of treats and can find our way back to the fruit and veggies again!:)
