A Message from Lynne Preston Executive Director

I

t’s time to shake off those winter blues and change up your routine for glorious spring! We have some great new programs for you to try, including BOSU 4-in-1 (page 43) for a full body workout, and Zenga Flow (page 43), designed to thoroughly work the deep muscle systems of the body.

Our rebranded programs for seniors, now called Golden Age (pages 50-54), offers a new workout called Total Body Sculpt (page 50). Over time, this class will help develop deep muscular strength, flexibility, and overall endurance. Take a look at the variety of programs our Golden Age department has to offer and join us for a week of free fitness classes during Seniors’ Week (page 52) from June 2 to 8.

We have a great line-up of cultural programs for you, starting with Festival Hatzafon (page 27) in Edmonton on Sunday, March 17. Book your tickets now for the very popular Second Night Community Passover Seder (page 29) on Saturday, April 20 at Carriage House Inn. Join us as we commemorate Yom HaZikaron (page 29) on Tuesday, May 7 at Temple B’nai Tikvah, then celebrate Yom HaAtzmaut (page 29) with us at the Calgary JCC on Thursday, May 9.

Watch out for Summer Camp (page 56) registration, starting on Sunday, March 3 for members and take advantage of our early bird discount.

Our 30th Annual Sports Dinner fundraiser (page 2) featuring Jarome Iginla is promising to be a sold-out event, so avoid disappointment and get your tickets now.

This year, the Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by Altalink program (page 45) will be matching your donations, so this is a great opportunity for you to truly make a difference and support the work we do with children here at the JCC. See you soon!

Teen connect teens

Teen Connect is the BBYO type experience made just for grade 7 and 8 students offering social and meaningful experiences that will serve as a gateway to continued involvement in Jewish life.

Teen Connect offers teens a variety of experiences to help bridge the gap between middle school and high school. The purpose is to provide middle school students with a positive experience in which they can get together with camp, school, and synagogue friends, as well as meet new friends.

Teen Connect allows middle school students to begin experiencing the privileges and obligations of being a member of the Jewish and general communities. A heavy focus is on the social aspect of programing, allowing for connections to be made which in turn will foster a stronger Jewish future. Teen Connect is a pipeline program that leads directly into BBYO.

All of our aquafitness classes are 45 minutes and they are led by a team of highly qualified instructors. The components of all classes are: a warm up, cardiovascular conditioning, muscle and core strengthening, and stretching. There is an average of 19 Aquafit classes that run weekly.

Aquafitness Class Descriptions As You Choose Participants are free to choose to work out in the deep water wearing a flotation belt or in the shallow water with their feet on the floor.

With careful attention and preparation, the instructor is able to teach to all participants.

Aqua Variety A challenging class offering a variety of formats and styles. May include deep water workout, Tabata, tether, interval, boot camp, circuit, shallow or Aqua Zen.

Deep Water Workout Wearing a floatation belt, you submerge yourself in the deep end of a pool for a deep water workout! While your deep water aerobics class has a low impact on your joints, it has an enormous impact on your cardiovascular system with the help of the resistance in the water. Class formats may vary between Tabata, circuit, boot camp or interval.

Aqua Zen A shallow water aquafitness experience that encourages peace and vitality through a variety of movements that inspires harmony within the mind, body and spirit. This holistic, wellness-based class focuses on mindfulness and range of motion while improving balance and body awareness. Find your zen while receiving all of the tranquility that the water has to offer.

Shallow Water Workout Activate your aqua urge for exercise! This class is held in the pool’s shallow end in chest-deep water so your feet are always touching the floor. Shallow water workouts improve agility, coordination, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance. Equipment may be used to develop strength and balance.

Tether Deep Water Workout Aquafit enthusiasts will benefit from this fun cardiovascular workout in the deep water!

There is a strong focus on core stability while performing deep water moves which will result in increased intensity. Participants will find themselves tethered to a lane rope with a bungee cord attached to a belt. Great for beginner to advanced!

Classes have no ability criteria, however they are designed to prepare you to progress toward a goal or event. It doesn’t matter if you are preparing for a cycling vacation, a Gran Fondo, riding off the front in a cycling event, striving for a personal best time, or simply wanting to commute more safely and competently – we want you to have goals and be motivated to achieve them.

We progress through the winter season with structured progressive classes. We don’t make pretty sets simply to pass the time.

We spend our precious time in the saddle getting more competent on the bike. We get pumped about training hard, riding outside, and maybe participating in an event. There are no egos – everyone is the same speed on a trainer. The bottom line: good company, great music, and smart sessions.
