Get a jump start on the MLFC! Start your cardio today!

Have you ever wanted to run a 5K but aren't sure how to go about training? Or has it been so long since the last time you ran a race you are scared to get back into it?

This time of year always brings new goals and challenges to the forefront of our minds. It's a great time to aim high and strive for that sense of accomplishment you get from achieving something you set your mind to.

Some of you know that in addition to Baby Boot Camp I also do personal training for individuals at Whole Body Fitness, a gym on Burnside. A lot of my clients this year expressed a desire to run a 5K as a fitness goal, but were not confident that they new how to go about it. A few more stated they wanted THIS to be the year to ramp up the intensity of their workouts and take that daily walk to a daily run. These clients have been the inspiration and now I have started the Whole Body Fitness Running Team. I would like to invite you ALL to become team members.

This team was created as part of an effort to encourage fitness and wellness within the community. EVERYONE is welcome to participate and other than the race registration fee ($25) which is going to a great cause, it is completely free! Everyone is given a schedule to follow and every Saturday we will do a workout together for extra motivation and support. The Saturday runs start at 10:30am so you can still do Baby Boot Camp class and get your cardio immediately after. Spend time with both Erins every Saturday!

The Mother Love Fitness Challenge is coming up this February and the first month is cardio focused, inspired by National Heart Health Month. This is a perfect opportunity to get a jump start on the competition by building up your endurance! Challenge YOURSELF to try something new! I know the life of you hard-working moms and dads can be hectic, but if you follow the schedule to the best of your ability you CAN run the Race for the Roses on April 5th.

For more information contact me at erinbarnes.fitness@gmail.com and I will send you all the details.

See you in class!
Instructor Erin B.
