Well, it seems that we are unable to have our PreProgram Workout this session – there is an excessive heat WARNING for our area and the worst of it will be during the time we planned to meet. This program is to improve your health and we do not want to put you at risk of any heat related issues.
Therefore, here is what we are going to have to do:
1) All participants will need to go to a track on their own time (when it is cooler, not tonight plz) and do 4 laps – record the time it takes – and send that time to me via email OR write it on the sign-in sheet beside your name (I will have a space for it). We do the track so that it will be the same terrain at start as at finish.
2) If you cannot get to a track, but have the ability to measure a 1 mile distance accurately – you can do that distance and record the time and get it to me – BUT you will need to do the exact same location and distance for our Post Program Workout.
3) All participants who want an incentive program shirt, MUST get a 1 mile time to me within the first 3 weeks of this session. Deadline is August 25th.
4) We will begin our Claremore Lake Park workouts next Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. at the first shelter on the left after the entrance.

Register and fill out the pre-survey today!

I will send an introduction email on Monday or Tuesday morning – please read it all as there are a few new changes to the attachments included.
I look forward to seeing you all next week!

What to do for the summer break? Keep up the work you’ve started and EARN A SUMMER SHIRT (while supplies last-I have a bunch!!). To keep you motivated and moving, I am offering the opportunity of the following challenge:
Continue your workouts throughout the summer break without our organized mentored program –
June 13th – August 10th (9 weeks).
Log your workouts on the RoCo Fit Exercise Log (obtain via email-renettah@health.ok.gov) and turn it in at the PRE PACE ACTIVITY for Fall- August 11th.
To get a summer shirt you must do and log at least 150 minutes of EXERCISE EVERY WEEK. You can do any EXERCISES and they can be broken up into shorter periods (3 days at 50 min., 4 days of 40 min., etc. and each day can also be broken into shorter periods too) just as long as each week you get a total of 150 min. of EXERCISE. It can be done inside or outside, it doesn’t matter as long as you get the workout time finished each week. It MUST BE ACTIVITY CONSIDERED AN EXERCISE- sorry, gardening and the like will not work this time (that will be good cross-training and benefits you!). EXERCISE are things like walking, running, swimming-not floating, bicycling, weight training, yoga, pilates, exercise DVDs, sports, etc.

Questions or need a log – email Renetta Harrison at renettah@health.ok.gov

Pace Activity at Claremore High School Track, 6:00 p.m. tonight (located on Florence off of Blue Starr Dr. and across from public library). This is required for the incentives, however you can make it up before Week #3 begins.

Tonight you will walk or run or walk/run at your comfortable pace around the track up to 4 laps (approx. 1 mile). We will record your time and then do it again the last week of the program to show your progress! This helps evaluate the program and give you a base line.

When you arrive at the track – if you have NOT registered, you will need to do that first (find Renetta and the mentors with the forms). After you are registered, please proceed to the track, find a mentor (RoCo Fit Shirts), tell them your name so they can write it on a card with your starting time, as soon as you are handed your card, carry it around the track for 4 laps (or as many as you can but no more than 4), when you are finishing your 4th lap, look at the clock, remember the time, then hand your card to a mentor and tell him/her the time you finished. They will keep the card for our log and you are free to leave.
If you miss tonight, please do this on your own at the track and email Renetta (renettah@health.ok.gov) the total time it takes you to finish 4 laps.

See you Thursday at Claremore Lake – first shelter on the left after the entrance – 6:00 p.m. or BEFORE please.

This is going to be a fun program! Come join us – register anytime before April 7th – we close registration that day (for injury prevention purposes since this is a progressive fitness program).
