WEEKLY RECAP - MAY 17-21
WORKOUT RECAP:
Great week of workouts and the rain finally held off for us. You all pushed hard this week. The week started off on the front porch in the drizzle with those circuits, need more mountain climbers anyone? And then the Thursday group rocked it in Mariemont and TP. If my math is correct you all did 110"bootstrappers" (those awful squat things), 110 push ups, and 110 burps (the abs pull ins or burpees without the jump)! This is IN ADDITION to all of the running and bleachers for early group, sprints for later group, lunges & abs. We ended it off Friday early morn with tons of abs (someone seemed to request it!) Please tell me your abs are sore. Don't worry if you weren't there any of the fun. We will repeat these again soon and you too can experience the pain.
TIPS OF THE WEEK FROM BOOKS & MAGS:
"When it comes to fitness the power of your peeps is well documented. One review of 87 studies on 50,000 subjects found a clear link between social support and exercise. A group makes you accountable and helps you push through an intense workout. When you are a no-show they should make you drop and give em 20." Hmmmmm....maybe we should adopt this policy
"Participants drinking skim milk after workout lost 3.5 lbs of fat in 12 wks. Those who drank sports drinks gained weight. Milk's protein improves body's ability to burn calories and build muscle." Looks like the ads are right - Milk does a body good. This is probably good to remember for our kids also. Not that they need to lose weight, but that milk is a much healthier post-workout drink than the sugar loaded sports drinks.
TIPS OF THE WEEK FROM WORKOUT CHAT:
**Dick's has all of their running shoes on major sale - especially the Gel Nimbus at $35 off!
**Replace the batteries in your portable devices before taking them back because they don't work right - oops!

Can you guess who said these lines?
