Fab at 40

by Kelly Young

I just took a tour and have officially joined the JCC (I took advantage of their summer membership deal). I had no idea the JCC has so much to offer! I was a guest a while ago and worked out with a friend, but WOW! After looking through the summer Update I’m so excited about “everything JCC” that I’m not quite sure where to start.  

First, about me…I’m training for a half-ironman, so my fitness routine includes swimming, biking and running—and not much else (yet). I’m a healthy-eater wanna-be and count on smoothies to get in my 5 veggies a day. I work at being a good role model for my kids and hope that our family walks are a start to healthy habits for my 8- and 4-year-old. And, I just turned 40, so I am counting on the JCC to help me achieve my mantra of “Fab at 40.”

About my blog…I plan to use this space to share what I discover at the JCC and to share publicly how the things I am doing at the JCC are helping me be “Fab at 40"—whether that’s through fitness classes or getting outside of my comfort zone and trying new things. As a new member, I hope I can meet other members (even if just virtually through this blog) who can help introduce me to everything awesome at the JCC. Sure, the Update tells me a lot, but I’d love to hear from you, too.

So, back to what’s exciting me most right now about the JCC:

1. Hot stone massages.
2. The Kids Triathlon on June 26—I’m hopeful I can encourage my kids to “tri” it.
3. Tandem Skydiving—talk about getting out of my comfort zone! I just may consider doing this on July 10, if I can find someone to join me.
4. Saturdays at the JCC - fitness boot camp and yoga classes (hot yoga class is something I really want to try).
5. The Eskenazi outdoor water park and summer fun with my kids.

So, what excites you? How do you use the JCC?
