Week of Oct 28th - What a Great Group!

  

What a Great Weekend!

Thanks to all the skiers for being so well-behaved this past weekend during our Ninja (Day) Camp.  We couldn't have asked for a better bunch of kids!

From the Halloween Orienteering Run at Hardwood to our Roller Skiing at Twin Lakes in Orillia, to Capture the Flag, to our Pole Walk to the Geocache in the Simcoe Forest - you did it all!

It looks like we'll have some more good weather for our practices this week. Let's keep up all the good habits we've built over the past few weeks.

Tuesday - MORE Strength and Fun at Hardwood

Please meet at The Palace at 5:20PM so we can get moving by 5:30PM.  Temperatures look mild, but when the sun goes down it's always cooler.

We will start with Soccer Baseball for the first 30 minutes and then do a group "conversation-paced" ski run. BRING POLES and a HEADLAMP this week!

Practice will run until 7:00PM

Saturday – Pole Walking at MOUNT ST. LOUIS

We will align our practice with the Senior Team at Mount St. Louis.  Please arrive by 9:20AM and park to the left of the Kids Camp Building in the large lot near the base of the Gentle Ben Lift - see map HERE.

We will be visiting both Summits a few more times for great views of the surrounding area.  The weather is slated to be cool, but sunny, so dress accordingly.

We will be playing our favourite "LEGO MAN" game, so hone your visual memory and sprinting legs for this one!

Practice will wrap-up at 11:30AM as usual.  Bring POLES!

  • Be active every day, get enough sleep and be sure to always eat healthy
  • Running – Try for 20-30min.  Start easy, but find some hills if you can!
  • Cycling – Try for 45-60min, either on-road or off-road
  • Fun at Recess – Play Basketball, Touch Football, Grounders, or just about anything that has you moving and jumping
  • Strength Training – Try some of the exercises that we do at practice on your own.  These can all be done either inside or outside and I would encourage everyone to try to do one additional Run/Strength session each week.  Perhaps combine them with a run in your local park or forest!
  • Be sure to keep working on your mobility either through stretching, yoga, pilates, etc.  There are LOTS of great resources online
  • We know that most of you are quite active between practices, just be sure you are doing something for 45-60min most every day.
