We made some major changes. We really wanted to move from just being an hour of aerobic exercise to being a wellness program. So, this year we are offering an cardio/strength/flexibility session as well as volleyball. We are also offering talks with a doctor, a registered dietitian, and a personal trainer.
The first hour we are doing 30 minutes of cardo, 20 minutes toning/strength, and 10 minutes of flexibility. The next hour we are doing volleyball - both competitive and recreational. The ladies can pick and choose what they want to do...
We had a good turnout and I am excited about how this year will go.
We also gave the ladies a 10 week challenge to encourage being healthy on more than 1 day a week. We are challenging them to walk at least 100 miles...(they can also run, skate, bike or do other convertible exercise). We are also challenging them to eat at least 5 to 9 servings of fruit and veggies servings a day. Each fruit and veggies serving counts as 1 point. They are to strive for at least 275 points.
Even though I work out 5 to 6 days a week. I am going to participate in the challenge and see just how many miles I'll do. I strive to eat 8 servings of fruit and veggies a day - 3 fruit and 5 veggies - as recommended by my dietitian. But I've been kinda slacking on the veggies. So, I gonna strive to meet and exceed 275 points.

That sounds like a so much fun...and in a group you get so much more positive reinforcement...
It is a lot of fun! And, that's been a real bonus of the workout. Plus, from the first year of participation, I have made 3 special friendships.
