Stepping for the troops
On Saturday April 2nd Answer is Fitness raised over $400 to support the Run to Home Base, a non profit charity sponsored by Mass General Hospital and the Boston Red Sox to assist men and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq with Post Traumatic Stress and Brain Injuries. Over 30 people attended this VIP step class set up by Sue Williamson and taught by Karen Arabian. Thank you to all that came out for a fun
Bootcamp for a Cause
This hour long workout took place on March 13, 2011 and was a
GREAT success!! The bootcamp consisted of high intensity endurance and
strength based exercises. The workout was done with teams of two, so
while one person was doing 25 push-ups, the other partner was doing
burpies until the other person finished (just to give an idea of what it was
like)!! Thanks to the eleven people that participated, along with a few other
donors that could not make it that day, we raised $290!!!! ALL the
proceeds went to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Senior Group Training
For three months, every Thursday morning from 8-9am a group of 5
seniors (both male and females) comes in to get their workout on. Always
starting with a dynamic warm-up with walking stretches or using a bike, the
workouts consist of a combination of strength and endurance exercises and
ends with some stretching exercises. Four different routines have been put
together that incorporate full body exercises and are done in rotation during
those three months. This is done so that those exercises done in the routines
become familiar with the clients. This way they are able to bring those
exercises to their routines outside of the class with good form. Not only are
these clients getting a good workout, but it’s a great way to meet some of
the other members, as well as having a trainer there to answer any questions
that may arise!
