Edge Elite Sports and Edge Body Boot Camp

We would like to extend a big thank you to Edge Body Boot Camp and Edge Elite Sports for coming to visit our class this morning.  Andy and Cristin were able to follow up our nutrition lesson from yesterday with a lot of beneficial information about eating properly and exercising.  Andy talked about the importance of eating right, and fueling your body after a work out.  Students need to be doing at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day and eating a balanced diet.  This really hit home with a lot of our weight lifting students who are building their muscles with Coach Matthews.  Following a workout, you need to replinish your body with healthy foods.  A lot of people like to eat candy, and Andy explored with the students other sugar options, like fruit, to satisfy your sweet tooth.  Andy and Cristin demonstrated several exercises the students can do and the students even tried some.  We also had some staff volunteers to try out some exercises, and I of course demonstrated my favorite....bicycle crunches.  The students were interested in continuing to learn more about exercise and the programs Edge offers.  If you would like to learn more, Edge Fit is located on Frederica Street by Big Lots and the phone number is (270) 240-1382.  Again, thank you Andy and Cristin for all your helpful information and motivating the students to become healthier.  Check out some of our pictures below and a short video of the students trying some exercises!
