Mark your calendars for January 21st! Dr. Mike Johnson will teach a class on how to choose the best workout show. Do you need a different shoe for walking, running, biking, or aerobics? Are the most expensive shoes really better? What do you look for so that you can avoid injuries? He also has a cool little machine that we can step on that will show us how our foot steps and what kind of shoe our foot needs. It'll be great!
-In January and February we are going to have some social dance classes. The tentative dates have been previously posted. When I get our instructor and have the dates firmed up I will let you know. I'm just telling you now, so that you can emotionally prepare your husband. Once we learn the dances, I think it would be a super fun way to get a work out in. The high school is doing a Jazz Band Dance on February 19. (more details when it gets closer) A lot of women have said, "I would love to, but I couldn't get my husband there!" Well, here are some Tips for getting your husband to come: You can assure him that no one will make him wear tights or sequins of any kind, in fact we hope he doesn't. He can feel free to wear a football jersey and logger boots, however. (Hunting garb and army fatigues would also be good choices.) Remind him that he'll get to hold your hand all night. If that doesn't work, play the Valentine's Day card and tell him that all you want for Valentine's Day is to dance with him. How romantic - huh? If all else fails, tell him my husband will call him to speak in Stake Conference if he doesn't come! (Just kidding!) Be sure to promise him lots of kisses! Good Luck!

General Fitness Info
We are going to start some "mid-week Relief Society Meetings" focusing on fitness and nutrition. My goal is to expose everyone to some different/fun ways to get moving and take care of their bodies no matter what their age, size, current fitness level, or fitness goal. If we are all doing a little more for this amazing body that we have been blessed with, had fun doing it, and built friendships with each other along the way, then I will consider myself successful!
I am learning by trial and error how best to get information to all the sisters. I don't want anyone to feel out of the loop. I am going to start posting on this blog, so that sisters that serve in the primary and YW can get the same info and I also want to avoid sending around clipboards that are so full of stuff to read that it takes away from the lesson. Be sure to pass the word on to the sisters that you VT, too. There may be some activities that could help someone get to know other sisters in the ward better.
Here are some fitness groups or activities that are already going on:
- Volleyball (Shannon posted details earlier)
- T/Th 6-7am at the Stake Center, Step Aerobics/Pilates (I went last week, it was a lot of fun!) They have a few extra steps, but the workout can also be done without one. If you have a step, you could bring it. They have a cabinet to put their stuff in. It would also be helpful to bring a mat or a towel for floor work, but some women don't.
-There is walking at the church at 8 am every weekday.
- There is a 5:30 am group that runs 3.3 miles every week day, even during the winter. Call me if you want more details.
-If 5 am is the only time you can work out, call Mindy Inskeep. She would love to get a group going. It's always more fun to do things with friends!
-On Jan 5 an indoor walking program will be starting at Stoddard Elementary. (I will have fliers with the details at church.)
- The guys play basketball on Tuesday evening at the sixth grade. If Basketball is your thing, then call Liam Pope for more information. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a women showing them how it's done!
-There are Racquetball and Handball courts at the high school. They are open to the public in the morning from 6-8, in the afternoon after 4, and on weekends. The cost is $60 for you whole family for the year Sept-Aug.(They close during Aug for building maintenance.) You need to bring your own equipment. Call the district office:785-8800 for more info.
-A bunch of us are wanting to start training to do a 5K(about 3 miles) together this spring or summer. Some of us want to beat a certain time, but some of us just want to cross the finish line in one piece! Whatever our specific goal is, we all want to be able to say we did it and have the matching T-shirt to prove it! If you're interested contact Jesse Walker.
I think that is all for right now. I hope this gives you some ideas and sparks your imagination. If you know of any other opportunities, be sure to let me know so that I can spread the word. I know that with our busy lives it is so hard to fit in one more thing, but I know that if we make it a matter of prayer, Heavenly Father will help us find something that will work for us. Even if it's just for15 minutes. Let's make this fun!!!

Fitness for December
Hey Sisters!
We had a blast last night trying out Katie's spinning class! It's not too late to come and "sample" the water aerobics classes at the pool. December 28 at 10:00 am, and December 30 at 9:00 am. (Shannon put the details about the class in an earlier post.) Katie talked to us last night about weight bearing exercise. The pool is a great way to get that! If you need a babysitter, the young women are out of school that day.
Tips for the pool: When I go I take flip flops with me. I wear them in the shower and walking around in the locker room. I am a bit of a germo-phobe and I don't want to pick up any foot fungus. Before I go in I shower (of course) and get my hair really wet, then I work in a tiny bit of conditioner in the ends of my hair before I put my cap on. My theory is that if I fill up my hair with water and then a little conditioner, it won't soak up as much chlorine. It seems to work. Don't put in conditioner if you don't have a cap though, we don't want a film of conditioner floating on top of the pool. You don't put your head under for classes, but I still like to protect my hair in case of splashes.
