A Spinning Success for the YMCA Scholarship Fund

 

TomHere is one of Saratoga YMCA Spin Instructor’s…Tom!!

Last Friday night, I was “spinning” as fast as I could for Team Tom.  The money we raised,  benefits the YMCA Scholarship Fund.  Getting a great workout AND helping YMCA members was the perfect combination  🙂

Here is a group picture of us before the Spin ChallengeGroup SpinHere is some hard working Girl Power!

Do you participate in charity events by donating your time or money?

Do you think participating in an “exercise based” charity activity would be fun too?

Activity Based Birthday Parties

It must be the PE Teacher in me….I like to have activity based birthday parties!

My goal is to always get kids moving!!
My children have had swim parties, gymnastics, dance/YMCA birthday parties, to name a few.  This year, it will be Cheetah themed (what else)

We plan on having many exercise themed games and contests.  No “real winner” just lots of fun.  We even plan on having a snow sculpture contest outside.  Bundle up everyone 🙂

What is your favorite kind of birthday party?

JERSEY STRONG…Jersey Shore “Strong”

20130824-171159.jpgWe just got back from visiting the New Jersey Shore!

We thought the beach areas we visited looked great! NJ seems to have bounced back from Hurricane Sandy.

I was REALLY impressed with the  workouts the Lifeguards were doing during their hours of work.

These guards have a workout BEFORE work, and during their breaks.

Some where jogging, rowing and paddle boarding.  You HAVE to be in great shape to work at the Jersey Shore!!

What other jobs or careers do you have to be physically fit for??
