F un w it h Fitness BY KRISSIE AYLWA RD, PFCCA FITNESS DIRECTOR
What a summer season! We have hit record numbers for Water Aerobics, at an average of 25-30 members per class! I am so glad to see all the new faces and luckily I only had to cancel class a couple of times due to the weather! I am so happy that more people are coming out of their houses and participating in our group fitness classes inside as well. Chair yoga and TRX participants are filling the classroom again as our other classes begin to see more faces as well. The energy is intoxicating and the smiles, addicting. I had the opportunity to swim in the Laps for Cancer and what a humbling experience. Being a survivor myself, the personal gratitude for those that swam was overwhelming. Being able to swim for those who are fighting or have lost their battle was a great opportunity. A woman whom I love with all my heart and who has taught me so much about the fitness world, personal training, and took me under her wing, is fighting the battle. Being able to swim for her, knowing she would’ve been there to cheer me on if possible, was just a small token of my appreciation for her and a way to show my support, give strength and inspiration to those who need it. We never know when this dreaded disease may hit someone we love or even ourselves, so it is extremely important to take care of ourselves and stay fit. I encourage you to do self-check on your health and fitness. If you are getting out and doing your thing, making good nutrition choices and getting in some kind of exercise then you are on the right track. If not, then maybe it is time to make a change. I am always here to help just stop in or give me a call. I look forward to seeing more new faces as we grow our fitness center tribe. As always thank you for your continued support and kind words. I appreciate you, Krissie “A one-hour workout is 4% of your day. No excuses. ‘Unknown
