Fitness Brainstorm

Even a Boot Camp Sergeant needs a buddy!  With the Patriot Games 5K Mud Run coming up in June, and all the prep for other people, I realized I better get my butt in gear!  I had a rough start yesterday, admitting here, that running is not my favorite.  At least not after a long period of no running!  But I can always count on a Boot Camper to the rescue and we got out early this morning and got in a run with a few pit stops for a quick blast of extra exercises.  I've also started the Body Cycle Fitness Challenge that I presented on my Facebook page, so I am looking for more energy in the days to come!

So, do you need a few more ideas about how to "get involved"?  Oh, OK, if you insist! :)

If you live in the Sagina, Southlake, Rhome, Decatur Area, my Boot Camps are of course the 1st choice!  If you have "liked" me on Facebook, just post a comment like "Hey, anybody want to go for a walk?" and see what comes back.  Lots of locals to meet there!  Ask what others are doing outside of Boot Camp!  If you don't see a Boot Camp time slot that works for you, or if you are across country reading this (how cool is THAT!), here are some other ideas.

FACEBOOK.  See what might be in your area on Facebook.  Communities are a powerful thing.  We talk and comment to each other all the time.  "Like" some place or someone who is engaged in Fitness in your area, and get connected!

MEET UP GROUPS.  Meet Up Groups has many groups that are within a zipcode where [people are getting connected.  The link that comes up is for the DFW area, but at the top of the page, you can just change the postal code to your area!  Maybe you would rather hike, kayak or rock climb.  Maybe you would rather walk the trails, or stroll with your kids, there are so many groups to choose from!

CAUSES.  Some people get fired up for a cause, go to your local Chamber Page or Active website for events in your area that you feel connected to.  The added benefit is that you meet people who also find it a worthy cause, so you have an immediate connection.  You do NOT have to run, you CAN walk.  There is no pressure here!

Are you getting some ideas of your own?
