Farmers, Fair, Food, Family, Friends!

Monday and Tuesday of next week our employees will benefit from professional development opportunities, on-site farmers market and our Movement: Wellness Fair.  WHAT A GREAT SETUP!  Check your school email for a map of the 20+ fitness/nutrition/mental health and other professionals who will be involved in the Wellness Fair.   Alida, MDV, Marta and myself have decided to take next week off from classes.  Be ready when we return after the holidays for the final push of 2010.   Mercedes Marathon is doable - you have 14 weeks to train.  Join a relay team, run the 5K  race or take the challenge of the Half Marathon or the Full 26.2 miles.  .  Happy Thanksgiving.  Roll Tide and War Eagle!

Movement Trophy on the MOVE!

Congratulations to Hailey Pepper, Patriot Pack Leader and Shades Cahaba as they won last week's Patriot Point Challenge! Keep up the great work. Next week we will be taking the show on the road as Spinning will be featured at the Alabama State PE Conference. Spin class will be cancelled for Monday and Tuesday on campus. We will be back on the bikes for our Thursday 4:30-5:15 ride and our Friday morning SuperSpinner ride. Monday @ 4:15 a group of walkers will meet at HHS gym parking lot to walk/jog the Lakeshore Trail. Join up and score Patriot Points for your team.

The Mission ISpossible!

Student Spin classes are given a "Mission" for each ride during Physical Education.  This week our Mission was to burn 500 calories  as calculated by heart rate monitors-that's high intensity pedaling!  This intense ride coincides with the HCS Mission Statement:   EMPOWER EACH..... Feeling empowered comes from intrinsic motivation supported by outside sources.  The first step to feeling empowered is to have a goal, create a plan for your work and then work your plan!  Fitness, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle will assist in your ability to "reach your potential" no matter what your goal may be.

Schedule for Spin next week:  Tuesday 6am-6:45am!  Friday 6am-6:45am.  Expect emails from your instructors if other classes will be adjusted.  I will be assisting with the Strategic Plan process so no afternoon classes Monday or Tuesday.  Happy Veterans Day Thursday.

Plan your work, work your plan.
