So check back often to maximize your wellness program.

7/20/22 – Line Hops Tabata

Hello July! We think of July for it’s BBQ’s and fireworks, but you can get a Fire-Workout anywhere, anytime! This month’s WOW’s is to burn calories through quick interval training sessions. This week’s exercise is to perform line hops for a 3-minute Tabata! Hop to the right and hop to the left. Alternatively, you can sidestep instead of jumping. The extra minute will make it much more challenging and elevate your heart rate!

6/29/22- Summer Time Fitness – Local Parks

Summer is upon us! This month’s WOW’s will focus on brainstorming ideas to get out of the house and making the most of your summer! Keep in mind to follow sun safety tips and visit the CDC’s website for more information to adequately protect you and your loved ones.

This week’s WOW is to go for a walk at your local park. At times we take for granted how beautiful and green our local parks are. Sacramento isn’t called the City of Trees for nothing! We have a wide variety of parks, paths, and great views to observe. You can even watch ducks wading around the ponds and pools as well.

My personal favorite parks are Land Park, McKinley Park, Capitol Park, and Elk Grove Park. Go out and get those steps in!
