Bay Area Events to Check out!

Hi, Everyone!

We are a small group of women who just started exercising at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont. We work out every morning at 6AM, for an hour. We've put together a "fitness boot camp" style program and would welcome other women who are also interested in committing to a daily workout program.

If you have exercise experience, JOIN US! We would welcome your input!

If you have NO exercise experience, JOIN US! We will teach you what we know.

Our workouts include, core conditioning, short distance running (less than one mile), muscular strength, circuit training, pilates, sport drills, obstacle courses, etc, and will vary from day-to-day.

We alternate days: Mon, Wed and Fri are cardio/walk/jog days with a little strength thrown in. Tue, Thu and Sat are "Boot Camp" with a lot of everything thrown in! We are also working on everyone taking turns with leading the exercises and assisting people with correct form and posture.

There is no charge for working out with us!

The only things you need to bring are:
your great sense of humor!
an exercise mat / large towel
some light hand weights
a bottle of drinking water

Write if you're interested!

The shoreline in Mnt. view with be having their annual Fireworks/ symphony show. Hopefully my best friend will gert us the discounted Mnt. View residents tickets. Otherwise I think they are $30.

If anyone goes please let me know, would love to meet a fellow sparker.

Glad I could help. I would love to go on walks and going in a group and/or committing to go with a buddy keeps me motivated. Unfortunately, I have an injury that prevents me from a lot of activities. Fortunately, I live near GGP and it is a beautiful walk. It is also a good way for me to gage the distance.

Lovitar-
That's great!
Thanks for posting this! I know some folks are looking for walking partners/groups, so this is very helpful.

Here is a link to a Meetup.com group that hikes around the SF area. I have not done it, but my girlfriend attends the hikes in Marin and she really enjoys them.

Please use this thread to let folks know about Bay Area events that would be of interest to the local Spark community!
Some examples- walks/runs, fitness expos, lectures/book readings from fitness/nutrition experts, etc.

Heard about something? Let us know! If we keep all events in this thread it will make it easier to find what you are looking for.
