Do you know success?

I have asked permission to share a success story from one of our employees.  The stats are obvious.  After a check-up at the doctor in the beginning of the summer break, this employee has this to report.  Blood pressure=down, Cholesterol=down, Weight=down.  As for the "ups".  Fitness level=up, Activity level=up,  Number of training days per week=up, Mileage covered and pace during walks=up.  Overall feeling and energy level UP!  Success happens daily every time each of you go for a walk, wake up early for a morning workout, choose to not have the entire basket of chips and salsa, or maybe chose to hydrate with water on a consistent basis.  If you are missing your chance to know success, start NOW choosing to succeed.  It's a personal journey we all face as we make our small decisions throughout the day.  Choose wisely.

Update on the Spin bikes:  Still on hold as repairs are necessary to keep us safe.  I'll let you know as soon as we are up and Spinning.

Special Thanks to the employees and students who came to Walk with the Mayor.  You can see an interview with Mayor McBrayer and Jeh Jeh Pruitt of Fox 6 detailing the expansion plan for our Shades Creek Greenway on the Fox 6 website.  Shades Creek Greenway is part of a 100 mile expansion plan which will connect most of Jefferson County.  More exciting news- Red Mountain Park a 1100 acre urban park is in the process of being built conveniently located adjacent to the city of Homewood.

Spin Calendar, Basketball and Walk with the Mayor

Just a quick update on the summer MOVEMENT opportunities.  Spin is still on hold as we are waiting for replacement parts/service on several of our bikes.  If you would like to get in a cardio workout, feel free to hop on an elliptical or the stairclimber anytime between the hours of 8am-noon Monday-Friday in the Spin room.  Of course there is no excuse to not get in cardio, it's as simple as lacing up those shoes and heading out to the trail or your neighborhood.  Careful with the hot temps though!  Be sure to hydrate and try to get your training done early morning or late afternoon.

6am Basketball:  We will start up this Thursday, June 9th.  Be at HHS for Summer Hoops.  We have 4 confirmed All-Stars for this Thursday.  LaToya P., Tyler B., Megan L., and Dexter L.  GET THERE and join the fun.

Walk with Mayor McBrayer:  Tuesday, June 14th 6:30am (weather permitting) Meet at the trail head on the Lakeshore Trail aka Shades Creek Greenway, parking lot near the Columbiana/Greensprings entrance.  We will join Jeh Jeh Pruitt and Mayor McBrayer promoting healthy lifestyles and walking in our Homewood Community.  The Shades Creek Greenway plan is to connect the existing trail to West Homewood park.  Be there to support making this dream a reality.

Keep Moving.
