Week of Oct 2nd - Fall Colours Begin!

  

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 Tuesday.

Thanks to Bronwen as well as parent volunteers for a great practice on Saturday as well.

Keep up the great efforts this week!

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 to be warm again, so dress for the weather and come well-hydrated.

We will do a group "conversation-paced" run on some more new trails and finish off with soccer-baseball.  There will be some NEW Strength exercises this week!

Practice will run until 7:00PM.

Saturday – 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 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 exploring the hills and hopefully making it to the TOP for a great view of the surrounding area.  The weather is slated to be cooler and possibly damp, so dress accordingly.

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

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.
