Fit & Fun

BY KRISSIE AYLWARD, PFCCA REC & FITNESS DIRECTOR

It is March already and there is so much planned for this month!

We are starting the month off with The Cat in the Hat, ending with a Wine & Shine Trolley Tour and possibly catching some Leprechauns in the middle! I am still not sure what I have gotten myself into, but I am loving every minute of it.

I am excited to host a Parent Social in April and I hope to see a lot of new faces with fresh ideas. It is important to me to give the children and teens in our community a safe place to gather, play and hang out with structure. We want to ensure that parents and guardians are comfortable and know that their children are safe within the Pocono Farms community. We have a beautiful room in the lower level of the Member Services building. I am currently working to make this space both kiddie friendly and teenage appropriate so we can put the room to use with more structured activities. Activities such as Ping Pong tournaments and Game nights for the Teens and Kiddie crafts, story telling and Mommy and Me aerobics for the little ones. I encourage you to keep an eye on your emails for the date and time of this event and to please come and join us to share your ideas, as this is your community.

Hot Yoga is HOT!!! Our first two classes have been a huge success and I am looking forward to March and April. As the weather warms up, it is my hope that we may be able to move class outside to the grass, possibly pool side and over on the beach.

Did she say POOL! Yes, I absolutely did, and I cannot wait to get back into the water for water aerobics! I may have some surprises up my sleeve in the fitness area as well. Something like Glow Zumba and/or Aqua Zumba. Both would be a special event, so again watch your emails for the announcements as we get closer to summer.

I appreciate all the emails with your ideas and encourage you to keep them coming. I am always looking for something new and exciting to try!

I look forward to meeting more new faces at our Bunny Brunch and egg coloring as well. I wish you all the luck of the Irish this month and hope to see you in the fitness center as well as the Lakeside Grill & Pub.

As always, thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I appreciate you all!!

“May your troubles be less. And your blessings be more. And noting but happiness come though your door.”
