3rd semi-annual Donut Challenge

We did it again. We carried donuts: up stairs, up hills, on our back for push-ups, climbing ropes, swinging on swings and squatting with them and yes we got to eat them at the end along with some latke, applesauce, apricots and satsumas. YUM!!

End of the Year

Just a couple of events left this year, next weekend is the 12K's of Christmas, in case you are looking for a last minute challenge.

Even though it is cold and dark out, it is still a wonderful time to go for a walk or run. Or if you prefer indoors on a treadmill, spin bike or elliptical. The main thing is you are staying active during the holidays. Winter is also a great time to get stronger, work on your leg, upper body and core strength. And of course don't forget rolling and stretching.

Not feeling so motivated? Grab a friend, do your errands on foot or bike and just get out the door, you will feel so much better. HELP Training also offers during the week run/walk groups and a strength class. Write me if you would like more info on times and cost.
