Week of 01/11/21

Posted on 10 Jan at 8:53 pm

Week 2 is upon us for the Wellness Challenge. If you're unfamiliar with the term the "sophomore slump" it usually refers to any second (or "sophomore") effort that doesn't live up to the first. So in this case, are we able to hold on to our incredible first week numbers in the second week? It is very easy to be excited about something when it's new and sexy, but it's the folks who are able to convert that newfound passion and the behaviors that came with it into habit that will be successful. Both during this challenge, and after. Keep it up, folks!

Are you a dog lover? Well, then you would have one more reason to love the Paleo Diet. Scientific American recently released an article that, in a nutshell, says in the early days (and I do mean early) hunters and gatherers would have had a much easier time finding protein sources than fat and carbohydrate sources. Because of this they would have had plenty to go around for friends of all species. Leaving plenty for wolves that might be lingering close by to take part in the feast when scraps were thrown their way. And in doing so, beginning the domestication of wolves and then dogs.

Important Indoor Class Information

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND BEFORE COMING TO THE GYM:

Please do not come in if you are sick, someone in your home is sick, or you are questioning your exposure to someone who is sick. Even if your sickness is mild, please stay home.

If you do test positive, please alert either Julie or Brian, so that we may take a look at who you have been in class with recently, and ask them to get tested. We will keep your name confidential.

Try to minimize moving between evening and morning classes to limit additional exposure in the community.

Please do not bring any unnecessary equipment or large gym bags. Take everything home with you, including water bottles, when you leave. If you normally bring a gym bag with you, please leave your bag in the car, and remove only what you need for the day.

Please bring your own chalk container. We will no longer be using a community chalk bucket. We are happy to hand out whatever chalk we have for your personal container.
