Mall Walk ON THE MOVE

vinnie_mall

Confused?  Well, the holidays can do that to you.  Here are just a few of the changes you'll run into over the next few weeks.

While the Dillard's Court remains too crowded for exercisers:

  1. We'll meet at the center of the mall until Santa & the Tree arrive.
  2. Then we'll move down towards Barnes & Nobel, being careful not to interfere with Lyn's dancing group.

But that's not all:

  1. On Friday November 16 and Saturday November 17 kristen will be off bird watching - no line dance, aerobics, yoga.  Judy's taichi group will still meet . . . somewhere.
  2. On Monday November 19 we'll have our Holiday Open House & Buffet.  This year Judy, Master Tam and George will host the buffet in their area just outside Penney's.  (Thank you very much.)  We'll need to start planning now since I'll be away the Friday before.

And, of course, there's the mall's holiday schedule:

  1. Thanksgiving - Mall closed (until 6 pm) - NO EXERCISE CLASSES.
  2. Friday after Thanksgiving - NO EXERCISE CLASSES.  Hey, join the shopping madness if you're up for that, or sleep in - your choice.
  3. Monday December 10 through Wednesday December 26 - stores open at 9, so 9-10 exercise groups get a couple of weeks off.  8-9 am groups continue as usual.
  4. Monday December 24 and Christmas Day - NO EXERCISE CLASSES.

More to come on all these changes.  Relax, abs tight, chest high, breathe, and go with the flow.


Reducing the Load

vinnie_mall

I’m switching to a bike for next week

(car in shop)

so I’ll be traveling light. 

Not to worry, I’ll have music. 

I won’t have much else. 

So we’ll just take a week off of arm work (M-W-F)

and everyone will need to bring their own yoga mats (Tu-Th-Sat).  

HEADS UP! — space reduced by special project next week, Aug 13-16

vinnie_mall

A film crew will be working in the Dillard’s court area next week — August 13 through August 16.  Expect to see lots of Christmas decorations, and who knows what else.  Our space for exercising will be reduced, or maybe even eliminated for those few days.  We’ll see what things look like on Monday and go from there.  Rest of mall open for walking and all groups that meet in other areas will not be affected.

I’ll be at Dillard’s on Monday to check things out and will post an update then.  We’ll do whatever we can, and expect to be back to normal by Friday.

Wilderness Awaits — No Line Dance, Aerobics, Yoga — Monday July 9 – Thursday July 12

Off to Gold Lakes for R&R, walking and bird/flower watching.

Check out the map for a few of the hikes I’m planning to take.  Look at all those lakes!  Irresistible.  I highly recommend this area for a getaway of several days.

Meanwhile, for those of you hanging around Stockton, mall will be open for walking, of course, and all other regular programs.  Stay cool.  Drink lots of water.  I shall return on Friday July 13.

June 20 – next Wednesday – HEADS UP!

No line dance or aerobics NEXT WEDNESDAY - June 20.  Tai Chi at 9 will still go ahead.  Judy will lead & provide music.

Take the day off, or try out a different group just for fun (lots of line dancing with Lyn down at Sears), or go for a hike.  I'll be back  to normal schedule on Thursday for Yoga & Tai Chi, and beyond.

Taking a Hike — SCHEDULE CHANGE ALERT

vinnie_mall

No line dance, aerobics, yoga NEXT WEEK Tuesday through Saturday (April 3-7).  The mall will be open for walking and other groups (including 9 am Tai Chi at Dillards) will be meeting as usual.  Perfect time to check out some different activities.

Outside, the weather is going to be wonderful, which is why Kristen is heading for the hills, the wild flowers, and some bird watching.  Feel free to do the same :-).

Or just sleep in.  Stretch in bed, roll over, relax.  But don't make it a habit.  Kristen will be back on Monday, April 9.  SEE YOU THEN.

New Website

And we're live, although still under construction.  If you find any broken links or other glitches, please let me know through comments.

Hope you'll find the new layout comfortable. Biggest change is to the schedule, which should now be easier for me to keep up to date, and therefore hopefully more useful to you.

Newer videos will now be highlighted here, on the "Notes & News" page. All videos will eventually show up on the "Video Links" page - eventually because there are still a lot for me to transfer from the old site, but it will happen.

Thank you for checking in.  kristen
