Great Local Family Fitness Event!

This is a great local run/walk that is perfect for families! A 5K (3.1 miles) is also the perfect distance for first-time race runners (it is also for a great cause)! Are you ready for the challenge of running this race? Or interested in walking it with your family? Let's do it together!

Note from the Sponsor:
Please join in the fun at Home of Guiding Hands’ newest fundraiser – a 5K Walk & Fun Run! We are excited to announce that ...on Saturday, February 19th, 2011 we will join forces with Randy Jones, former San Diego Padres player and National League Cy Young Award winner, at beautiful Santee Lakes to help raise much needed dollars for San Diegans with developmental disabilities.

The fun won’t stop as you cross the finish line. You are invited to stay at Santee Lakes for a picnic lunch, awards ceremony, opportunity drawings, music, and entertainment. You are welcome to enjoy the day by bringing your chairs and blankets while getting to know other HGH supporters and community members.

We have some Santee Stroller Strides mamas that are already registered to participate so feel free to join us :)

Exercise of the Week: V-Sit Ball Pass

Using either a weight ball, or any other prop, get into a V-Sit and begin lifting and lowering your legs with a figure-8 pass in between the knees. This exercise isometrically challenges the core while adding instability through leg movement.
