Nordic Walking Clinics

Have you tried Nordic Walking yet? Nordic Walking is an all season, all-inclusive outdoor exercixe technique that supports total body fitness. You can burn 7 calories a minute walking with poles! Improve your gait efficiency and muscle strength while gaining the same cardio and caloric benefitis as speed walking.

I have personally seen people that could barely walk, doing laps around the track in no time at all. It has helped their balance, their muscle strength and their self esteem! I have done it myself and can tell you that it will give a total body workout, it's great!

Join us at 12:00pm and 5:30pm in The Summit Conference rooms. Our upcoming dates are March 16 and 30th, as well as April 6th. We will walk at The Summit's indoor track. This one-time workshop series will prepare attendees for future Nordic Walking. This is free and open to the public, registration is required. To reserve your spot call 751-5374 or e-mail proberts@krmc.org

Gypsy Fusion Bellydancing Date Change

Sooo...I told you about the Gypsy Fusion Bellydancing class that was coming up on Saturday, August 27, now I need to tell you about some changes. Our bellydancing instructor is an archaeologist and has received an opportunity to go on a "dig". This was a very last minute situation but one that she could not pass up. However, she has to leave the very weekend that the bellydancing class was scheduled. The long and the short of this is that the class has been rescheduled for October 1st. If I get any more details I will let you know.

Calling All Yoga Instructors

Sooo...are there any certified yoga instructors out there that like early mornings? We are having some challenges keeping our 6:00am yoga class going. The problem is that our wonderful yoga instructor has another job that is conflicting with her teaching yoga at that time. How Rude!!

While we don't want to lose our current instructor, we really do need to fill that time slot. So if you like early mornings, are yoga certified the Summit is the place you need to be. For more information call Kris at 751-4131

Our summer yoga classes, are as follows:
Monday 8:00am
Tuesday 6:00am and 12:10opm
