First Night of Clinic!!!!

MARCH 4 is finally here!! It's our first night of clinic, can  you believe it? We are all very excited about working with each of you this year. Here are some tips for tonight:
* Dress in layers (it's going to be cold!)
* Wear something over your ears
* Wear gloves
* (if you didn't come to orientation) Pick up your information packet after your work out
* Listen to the leaders as they come around and talk to you about form and breathing!!!

T-shirt orders are still going on. $15 each and pay at the time of order. You can get your order form or turn one in at the informaiton table. Please have correct change or check made out to NEA Baptist. 

Rundown of the night:
Get your name tag!!
Walk one lap to warm-up
Dynamic Stretching
Work-out 30 minutes
Cool down lap
Cool down stretches

Remember ladies - This is a program to encourage you, not kill you. Do what you can and push yourself, but know your limits. If you can't run the entire time, it doesn't mean it's time to quit the program, it just means you take a walk break for 15 seconds and then run again. This is a WALK/RUN program. You CAN do this!! Don't put off til tomorrow what needs to be done today!!! You are awesome and we are here for you, every step of the way!!!
