Get Fit! Tullahoma and Urgent Team Host a Health and Fitness Expo April 5

Get Fit! Tullahoma and Urgent Team are pleased to host the second Free Community Health Fair and Fitness Expo Saturday, April 5, from 9 am to noon at Northgate Mall. There will be fitness and nutrition tips, health screenings and more. Please join us and learn how you can move more, eat well, get fit and stay fit.

“The results of the screenings will help you establish a baseline to see how healthy you are and what areas you need to improve in,” said Mayor Lane Curlee. “This event will also provide exposure and education about different dimensions of wellness and fitness opportunities in our community.”

There are currently 32 booths singed up to participate, and the first fifty students to visit will get to play the newest Arcade games for free.

“Get Fit! Tullahoma is about making a change you can live with,” said Urgent Team Area Manager, Mindy K. Street. “Part of our mission is to contribute to activities, organizations and causes that advance our communities forward.”

“This will be another fun and informative event,” said Community Coordinator, Winston Brooks. “This is a great chance to see what resources are available to help motivate you to start moving more and staying healthy.” Throughout the morning there is a complete line up of demonstrations starting at 9:00am with Tullahoma Crossfit; 9:30am Tims Ford Park Ranger Philip Hylen; 10:00am Molly Gupta Karate; 10:30am Estill Springers Square Dancing; 11:00am Snap Fitness Aerobics; and 11:30am the Mayor’s Fitness Challenge.

The complete list of vendors and services will be announced March 21.

Dreams Really Can Come True

I learned this, at least, by experiment:
if one advances confidently in the direction of his (her) dreams,
and endeavors to live the life which he (she) has imagined,
he (she) will meet with success unexpected in common hours.
—Henry David Thoreau

As cyclists, when we look back at our “stats” from the previous year, it can be astonishing at how many miles have been traveled advancing toward our dreams – while on our bikes. Some of us have a particular amount of miles we strive to go, and others of us are just happy to “go.”As we imagine what the next year may bring and plan what we hope to accomplish, excitement and maybe a twinge of anxiety may surface. In an attempt to avoid feeling anxious, I learned years ago to set a goal that can be accomplished. As cyclists, a goal that can be achieved by every one of us, would be – Riding our bike will be fun in 2014!Another very achievable goal could be advancing awareness of cycling in our community. Some ways to achieve this goal would be to wear your club jersey while cycling, use your ERV100 mug at work, or help a friend to begin the sport of cycling this year.Making the Tullahoma area more “Bike Friendly” would benefit our community economically and environmentally. It is a dream to imagine in common hours. Perhaps, we are advancing confidently toward this goal each and every day as we have fun on our bikes in 2014.As always, be safe out there.
