Trainer tip of the Week from Jon Broy:
November 11th, 2011
Trainer Jon Broy has been with Acceleration for nearly 3 years. Hate doing cardio?? If you are having a tough time getting your cardio done, Jon suggests loading your favorite song on your ipod and trying to run for the duration of that song. Do this a few times and when you are comfortable, add another song and run for both. Continue until you can do 20 minutes or more!!
Have more fitness questions or need a new workout? Come visit Jon in the Fitness Center or Cross Fit room!
HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!!
November 11th, 2011
Acceleration wants to say a heartfelt thank you to all our service men and women.. Past, present and future. Thank you for all you do!!!
