Manage Chronic Pain with Diet, Self-Care, and Exercise



Treading Thursday

BLR featured class: Treading
I'm going to make mine "Treading Tuesday"...   It just sounds better.  lol

If you've ever visited The Biggest Loser Resort then you know that Thursday's are infamous for one thing - TREADING. If you have yet to visit us, allow us to explain what Treading is. Treading is a high intensity, cardio focused, fat blasting class taught every week on Thursday afternoons. Our guests choose the cardio machine of their choice, be it a treadmill, elliptical, spin bike, or Jacob's Ladder, and participate in an intense, non-stop, 40-minute workout; sometimes longer depending on what kind of mood the trainer teaching might be in. Of course we're joking, but we've seen this happen.

Our trainers pride themselves on pushing our guests to the next level, and guiding them toward personal achievements they never knew possible.

We hear the same question from many of our departing guests, "How does Treading class go again? I want to do this at home!" Well, we are more than happy to oblige. Here's how Treading happens at The Biggest Loser Resort.
Treading

And always remember, you can do ANYTHING for 5-minutes!!!

Happy Treading!

Walking @ the Seymour Library

Remember this one from a few years ago?
Walking @ the Library
4.5 times around the Seymour Library block = 1 mile
Go around the outside edges of this block, cutting along the inside of the chiller on the southwest corner.
11.1 times around the Seymour Library upstairs "circle" = 1 mile
To follow the indoor "circle" track, at the top of the stairs turn in either direction and go around the outside aisles by the walls, including out by the glass windows overlooking Second Street, but NOT including the Local History area, Lab, Classroom or Teen Room. Some staff have been enjoying this path the past few weeks. If you have questions, ask Becky, Roger or Monica.
