Amazing Race

Well, our "Bring your daughter to workout day" was a success. It was a lot of fun. I think we'll do it again sometime. We have 12 teams signed up for the AMAZING RACE. It starts November 3... get ready!!! It'll be fun.
Our third annual "Have yourself a Healthy Little Christmas" is in a few weeks. It's November 7th. What a great time to come and shop and buy your teacher gifts. We have many talented ladies in our club and many who sell gifts from a variety of companies. They will have their booths set up and ready to make this years christmas a little easier. STOP BY and BUY!! You can come and shop and make a list for your husband. He can also buy a gift certificate directly from our website and print it out for you at home. HOW CONVENIENT?

Your friends who aren't members yet, can work out until January 1st for $100. It's a great opportunity to work out for a few months without a contract.

Don't forget to vote everyone!!! Continue to pray that God does not lift his hand from us. We also pray that our next president does not change our christian values or the very things that our country was founded on!!

Are we heading for a Fat Future???

Did you know that a women who is 5'4 is considered overweight when she hits 145 pounds? That same woman is OBESE at 174 pounds. An interesting prediction from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health recently published an article on the obesity epidemic. This year, 28% of Americans are considered overweight, while 34% are considered OBESE. In year 2030, 37% of Americans will be considered overweight, with 53% being OBESE. That's over half of the US being too large!! That also means that over half of us will be predisposed to diabetes, heart disease, High Blood Pressure and joint pain from carrying extra weight. DO WE NEED ANOTHER REASON TO START DIETING AND EXERCISING RIGHT NOW!!!!, THIS MINUTE!!!! If you can't commit to doing something for weight loss, then lets do something to stop weight gain and prevent the onset of life threatening diseases. In 2030, our children will be adults. They will be part of that statistic. They are watching our habits. (eating and moving). Let's get them going too, to change the "shape" of the nation.

events to remember

Vote for this Saturday's Cardio Class

Hi Ladies,
We wanted to give you the choice in the cardio class that is taught on this Saturday, October 18th. Your options are:

• Spin Class - 45 mins. on the bike with fun music
• Circuit Class - a 45 min. class made of 12 - 15 stations that alternate between strength and cardio. Each participant will spend one minute at each station and then rotate to the next. It's a lot of fun, and the time passes very quickly since you do something different every minute.

So, leave a comment to this post and let us know what you'd like to do. We'll need all of the votes submitted by Thursday evening.

Hope you're all having a good week!
