We are doing good!

I walk ALOT! But Certainly miss the weight and machines. I always felt working out was a blessing. Stay Safe out there and miss seeing your faces!

I find it very difficult doing workouts here at home. I REALLY miss ALL my 5 am classes.

Definitely miss the Y! Thankfully the weather hasn’t been too bad so outside walks are enjoyable.

We have group text with workout class sharing workouts and encouraging each other

Using the outside track and weights at home.

A couple of us are walking your track behind the building. It’s been great!

Walking your outside track for now and a stationary bicycle at home when the weather is bad. 

So I am riding my bike on the Tall Grass Trail(25 miles and 20 mile trips) – It is cold. I walked 5 miles at the cemetery twice this week.

Walking on the track behind the Y

I am doing okay, but have nothing to replace my time in the pool with the ladies early in the morning. It makes my mornings a little harder to get started but I am managing okay.

I am doing well – I am walking in the neighborhood and also along different parts of the Tall Grass trail.

My son is so bummed that school days out over spring break had to be canceled. He looks forward to seeing his friends from other schools and all the fun things he gets to do. Sometimes you take for granted things that seem so usual. The YMCA is such an important part of our community and our family looks forward to it’s reopening.

Currently, I am staying busy with work and helping my two daughters complete their online class assignments. I am trying to walk 8000 steps a day and use my stationary bike for at least 20 minutes a day.

We are staying home and using social distancing. Walking outside helps. So far, so good. Spending a lot of time on social media to stay connected with family.

I really miss swimming at the pool everyday.

With schools closing due to #coronavirus (#COVID19), it’s important to keep kids engaged, healthy, & active at home. @CATCHhealth has a free, easy-to-use set of #HealthEd & #PhysEd materials that require limited space & supervision. Full info: catch.org/pages/health-at-home #HPEatHome
