Week of Oct 10th - Fall Colours

 

What a great first full week of practices as the Fall Colours begin to hit their peak.

Everyone enjoyed some warm fall weather, as well as a rousing game of soccer-baseball (with Strength) on Wednesday as well as our vigorous game of tag after exploring the Tower Loop on Saturday.

Keep us the great efforts this week!

Tuesday – Pole Walking at MOUNT ST. LOUIS

We will be aligning our practice with the Senior Team at Mount St. Louis this week.  Please arrive by 5:15PM 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 exploring the hills and hopefully making it to the TOP for a great view of the surrounding area.

Practice will wrap-up at 7:00PM as usual.  Bring POLES!

Saturday - More Fun at Hardwood and the Ski Swap!

We will explore more of the trails and maybe even Venture onto the Wild Side!

Please meet at The Palace at 9:15AM and Bring POLES!  Temperatures look to be cool again, so dress for the weather!

Please also check your emails for the call for Volunteers to work at the Hardwood Ski Swap.  No experience necessary - Sign Up HERE!

As for the rest of your week, here are some suggestions for other activities should you need them:

• 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.
