BREAKING NEWS…” I just can’t thank you enough”.
I am grateful for how you have embraced our new format. With an open mind you have jumped right into the ZOOM CLASSES. Collectively, through your support and feedback, we are piloting a new and exciting method for program delivery.
Each day, your resilience, positive energy and creativity is on full display. We've had members use frying pans and more for kettlebell swings; cases of beer, bowling balls, children and even dogs are used for weightlifting! We’ve been active and having a lot of fun. I think we are not only complying with “physical distancing” mandates but have discovered how to “socially stay connected”. It is these essential components that help keep us focused and committed to the UF Mission.
"To create an environment, where individuals who make a personal commitment, will be empowered to transform and experience, an improved, healthy, physically fit and proactive lifestyle."
Another great outcome is this platform has given rise to a developing UF Reclamation Initiative. It has allowed us to welcome back members, who have since moved across the country and to other parts of the world. I like to joke that we are now an “international” fitness company .
ATTENTION…UPDATES
1) "10 Minutes of Mindfulness" … please join Anne Taft M-F at 10:10 am. Reminder that this class will not count against your lessons. Free for all members. Come enjoy some time to focus on you and just feeling better. You can expect the following schedule.
Mondays: Lacrosse/tennis ball release followed by deep stretch.
Tuesdays: Core Stability/bring yoga block or thick pillow.
Wednesdays: Meditation.
Thursdays: 10 Min Yin (2 yin poses, each held for 3-4 min) 2 yoga blocks or pillows.
Fridays: Lacrosse/tennis ball release followed by deep stretch.
2) “Cardio Kickboxing” …Join Coach Kristi Underhill for this class using boxing and kickboxing techniques/drills. Expect to get your heart pumping and have a blast. Thursday April 9th at Noon. See you there!
3) Current members should have received an email from me regarding “TrainHeroic”. This is an exciting new app that we will use as we go forward.
· This will allow us to bring you the workouts ahead of time, so you'll know what to expect and what to bring to the session.
· The app has excellent videos on the technique of each movement. If unfamiliar with an exercise, check it out. This will help the classes run even more smoothly and simplify our progressions.
· You will now be able to enter the results of each workout/set and exercise. This allows us to track our fitness and performance. (No reason to let a little pandemic ruin your gains)
· Should you not be able to attend class, this platform will continue to be a great way to keep up with the program.
You will observe that some exercises are clustered together. The cluster represent the various options for the movement. It does not mean you have to do all of them.
4) EQUIPMENT LOAN FOR CURRENT MEMBERS ONLY. If you would like to borrow
some equipment, please let me know here. Currently, I am lending out ONE ITEM per
member. You will have to pick up the item from the gym. I have a lease/loaner form for you to fill out and am only asking for 2 things in return. 1) USE IT! Bring it to the workouts and get the most out of it. 2) RETURN IT! Currently, I'll need it by April 30th and/or the conclusion of your Spring Membership.
If you did not receive the invite to join TrainHeroic, please message me here.
Thanks again! I look forward to seeing everyone in class this week. For those who have yet to jump in, I would encourage you to do it ASAP. This train is rolling along, and we would be delighted to pick you up along the way. Remember you only need enough room to lay on the floor and ZERO equipment is required. Don’t forget, in addition to improving fitness, you are earning discounts towards the Summer Program (1% discount off Summer Program with each Zoom workout attendance).
