they join the group and are supervised by Camp Broadwater Instructors.
Children should
come prepared to work out, have fun and participate in a variety of
fun games and activities with appropriate shoes and clothes, swim suits
and a towel. Campers should bring a healthy snack and something to drink,
or they may purchase something at the Club.

Health Benefits of Laughter
Did you know a good
laugh gives your muscles a workout. This "inner jogging" increases
blood pressure rate, depth of breathing, and oxygen surges throughout
the body. After a good laugh, muscles go limp, blood pressure falls,
and you experience a mild euphoria. And the scientific definition itself
is worth a laugh: "A psycho physiological reflex, a successive,
rhythmic, spasmodic expiration with open glottis and vibration of the
vocal cords, often accompanied by a baring of teeth and facial grimaces."
WOW!
Who knew??
Two
Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in
the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you
can't have your kayak and heat it too. |
Forever
Fit
Les and Inez Hansen
came to the Broadwater Athletic Club a few years ago on a doctor's recommendation
to do water aerobics. They branched out, adding the PPC Life Center
machines, bike, and treadmill four times a week. Les had a stroke in
1998 that changed their lifestyle considerably, but it didn't stop their
routine of exercise. Now, six years post-stroke, Les at 86 is doing
the Forever Fit class, a circuit training based class for seniors with
physical challenges. In addition to this class, he and Inez use the
strength training machines, still do the Lifecycle and walk on the treadmill.
They are busy four times a week at the Broadwater. Do they take a day
off? "No," says Inez. Every day they walk in the mall. This
is a couple that is Forever Fit!!
The
Edge Football Speed Camp
A program specifically
designed to take you to the top of your game. The
Edge is the difference between the bench and the
field, the difference between touchdowns and tackles, the difference
between winners and losers. Make sure you have what it takes; make sure
you have The Edge. You
might be fast, but we can make you your fastest! Stay ahead of the competition
by improving your 40 time.
The
Edge Speed Camp is designed to teach all aspects
of accurate and efficient running specifically for the game of football.
Groups will be kept small to allow for individual training attention.
We will be focussing
on technical skill work during our speed and agility sessions as well
as football conditioning to prepare the players to begin their high
school preseason training. The camp is open to all high school football
players. Locations will vary, a schedule is available in the brochure
and online at thebroadwater.com.
Camp is scheduled
Monday, Wednesday, Friday for three weeks beginning July 5th from 10:30
a.m. to Noon. Cost is $100 if registered by June 1st, $125 after June
1st. The Trainer is Nan Brisko, a highly trained, skilled and experienced
athletic trainer with a college degree in Exercise Physiology. Registration
forms are available at all three clubs. Payment must accompany registration.
