Week of Jan 2nd - Happy New Year

 

We hope everyone had a great 2022 and we're all looking forward to an amazing 2023

We know that this latest warm spell has dampened spirits, but don't let that get you down as winter will return before too long.

Tuesday - Skate Skiing at HSB

Fingers crossed that HSB will stay open.  If they do, we will meet at The Chalet to be ready to ski at 10AM.  We will be doing Skate and again working on BALANCE and GLIDE as well as shooting some video for each skier to see.

If not, we won't be able to run a formal practice but would encourage everyone to get outside for whatever activity you can.

Thursday - TBD at ???

Again, fingers crossed that HSB will stay open.  If they do, we will meet at The Chalet to be ready to ski at 10AM.  We will likely be doing Skate again.

If not, we won't be able to run a formal practice we'll think about some other indoor options.

Saturday & Sunday – Seeing what the Weather Holds...

Stay tuned for updates over email and WhatsApp about what we might be able to do this weekend.

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 healthily
• Running – Try for 20-30min.  Start easy, but find some hills if you can!
• Cycling – Try for 20-30min, indoors on a Spin Bike while watching your favourite show
• Strength Training – Keep up with the exercises that we did at practice in the Fall on your own.  We would encourage everyone to keep up with doing one Run/Strength session each week.
• 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.
