We’re
switching up our usual #FormFridays to focus on a little #FunFriday!
With summer on the way, it’s time to start making that summer bucket list.
Research
shows that people who write down their goals are 50-90% more likely to achieve
them.
So let’s do it!
First, the summer bucket list doesn't necessarily need to be extreme and outright crazy. Items included can also be simple and things that will make you happy. If you view it as
a list for self-improvement, hopefully you’ll be able to find meaning and
fulfillment in everything on it.
You've seen them at the gym, maybe even attended their classes, see what these 5 instructors have on their bucket list for the summer.
1.
Improve My Golf Swing –Sara (Cycling
Instructor)
Along with
spending more time with her family, Sara is hoping to focus on her golf game by
taking lessons in order to improve!
2.
Pick up Meditation – Lauren (Cycling
Instructor, Fitness Instructor)
With a busy
schedule, Lauren sometimes finds it hard to be mindful and live in the moment.
In hopes of changing that, she’s planning to pick up meditation. It just so
happens that there’s meditation classes being offered through recreation's instructional
programs. To join Lauren, take a look at the instructional
programs offered for summer. They start this Monday, May 5th. (Plus, first class is free!)
3.
Take More Advanced Yoga – Blair (Fitness
Instructor, Cycling Instructor, Dietician)
Blair has been practicing yoga since
the fall. She’s been doing beginner/intermediate classes and unlike high
school, where she didn’t like yoga, she was surprised at how much she enjoyed
the slower pace. Plus, she found that yoga can actually be very challenging and
has seen improvements with her flexibility. This summer, she’s going to try out more advanced classes and work towards mastering the side crow and handstand.
Looking to take your yoga to the next
level? Why not try Power Yoga? Take a look at the times offered through instructional programs.
4.
Compete In a Triathlon —Caylea (Cycling Instructor, Fitness Instructor, Trainer)
As a runner and a cyclist, the next step for Caylea is to complete her first triathlon. Caylea likes having something to train towards and is welcoming this next challenge with open arms. We can't wait to see her in action!
5.
Pick Up Squash With My Dad—Jill (Cycling
Instructor)
Spending
time with family is definitely on the list for Jill this summer. One way Jill
is looking to do this is through squash. Since her dad is a big squash player,
what better way to have bonding time, then over a game of squash.
