READY, SET,
CAMP!
by Chris Thurber
Since the 1860s, summer camps have been a safe haven
and character building experience unlike any other. At camp, I get to be myself” is the most common reason
children give for loving camp. Of course, kids have known that camp is fun since its inception in this country more than 150 years
ago. What’s not to love? You get to make friends, try new activities, and enjoy the outdoors. Read more about choosing and preparing for camp here...
STRENGTH TRAINING FOR BUSY PEOPLE
Perhaps the most prevalent misunderstanding about strength training, particularly for those who would
like to do it, is the time requirement. Many adults simply do not have time to do the multiple-set workouts they have been told are necessary for
strength development. Fortunately, time-efficient single-set training can be just as productive as time-consuming multiple-set training when
performed properly. Read recommended training here...

YOUR FIRST TRACK
WORKOUT
by http://www.athleticmindedtraveler.com/
Track running serves two purposes. First, it provides an exact measurable
distance for you to time yourself and set timing goals. And, if you write your times down from week to week you can track your progression. Second,
track workouts provide a flat surface for you to run fast and not worry about auto/bike traffic, hills, etc. Continue track article here...

PUMP YOUR GROUP - IDEAS!
Group not meeting after a cold winter? Started your own new group to meet some local moms?
Fear not! We have ideas to get things moving strong. How about holding a Mother's Day Run/Walk for your group? This can happen any
day around Mother's Day, any time, anywhere. Pick a park, bring a treat for your fellow mommies, share fun stories, and get some exercise in
the process. You might even invite the spouses! Or how about a Mom's Night Out? Even better, a track workout at your local
elementary school to get everyone moving! You could even bring little party trinkets to hand out and have a fun run/walk.
