Parents Magazine - NFL Play 60 Piece

I was fortunate enough to be asked to write a piece for Parents Magazine and NFL Play 60.  It was about kids getting their 60 minutes of exercise daily, and some fun means to do so via football drills.  If you get Parents Magazine, take a peak on the December 2009 issue- page 46.  For the full article, please click:Parents -NFL Play 60

Are you ready to up the ANTE?? Tomorrow morning is about YOU!

Happy Monday!

Tomorrow morning is almost here!  Can you feel the excitement bubbling through me as I plan on the trial class??  Are you ready to blast through a workout during the week that starts the holiday zaniness? 

I copied the email below from last week about the trial class. The info is the same, and be ready to come and have fun.

For the 5:30-6:30 option, you can come 2x,3x,4x or 5x/week.  For 9:30-10:30 you commit to the 6 sessions of Tue & Thu. There are drop in dates on 12/21 & 12/22.

I read an article in Health Magazine this weekend about additional ways to avoid the holiday addition of 10 extra pounds.  Obviously exercise is one of the means to do so...but exercising in the morning increases your caloric burn during the holidays. Reason being is when you workout in the evening during peak and busy times, you are more apt to cut your workout short by 10 minutes or 15 minutes, or end up not making it because of traffic and shopping.  When exercising in the morning, YOU commit to making the workout session before the holiday excuses and events pop into play.  We all knew the morning was the best time to avoid excuses, but now with knowledge that it helps avoid the average 10 pound holiday gain, there is NO excuse not to come to Power Fitness PDX morning classes.

Some quotes to make you excited and eager to train:

The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck!  ~Author Unknown

I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.  ~Marsha Doble

I really don't think I need buns of steel.  I'd be happy with buns of cinnamon.  ~Ellen DeGeneres

And to let you know you should be moving and shaking with a motivational TEAM at Power Fitness PDX.....

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well neither does bathing- that's why we recommend it daily. ~ Zig Ziglar
