MOPS Recap of April 5th
A HAPPY AND HEALTHY START TO SPRING FOR MOPS!
We had a fabulous meeting focused on the health or ourselves and our families. Thank you for all who contributed to the feast of healthy items that we enjoyed for breakfast! There were some really great dishes that remind us how easy it really is to enjoy food that taste great as well as being good for us.
We began the meeting with an energetic workout that truly got our hearts pumping! Thank you to Allison Thummel for getting us off our chairs and putting us through our paces. I for one had trouble sitting down for two days because my legs were so sore! It was a lot of fun. Allison teaches a 1 hr boot camp at CUMC on Mondays at 9:45. There is a $5 charge and childcare is provided for free. Allison also does personal training and can be reached at allie@momandtotfitness.com, or 281-217-8440. Allison also provided us with an informative presentation about how our food choices affect our bodies and the benefits of probiotics.
