## Details ### **The Vibe** Ditch the WFH screen and reclaim your Tuesday evening. We’re meeting in Hudson Road Park to work on the "Big Moves"—Muscle Ups, Handstands, Front Levers, and Planche. This isn't a gym class; it’s a **community workshop**. I’m an amateur enthusiast, not an expert, and I’m looking for a "tribe" to train with. We’ll use resistance bands and gymnastic rings (I’ll bring a few sets) to break down the physics of these moves and help each other progress. ### **The Vision: Tuesday "Anti-Gravity"** Whether you’re just starting your first push-up or you’re working on a full Planche, all levels are welcome. We focus on: * **Pull/Push Mechanics:** Building the "Engine" for Muscle Ups. * **Core & Tension:** Static holds for Levers and Planche. * **Balance:** Overcoming the fear of being upside down (Handstands). ### **The Plan** * **When:** Every **Tuesday at 6:15 PM**. (Great way to kill the post-work slump). * **Where:** **Hudson Road Park, Dun Laoghaire/Sandycove**. * **The Flow:** 45-60 mins of training/play. * **The Post-Game:** We’ll head for a quick bite or a "Recovery Tea/Coffee" at a nearby spot in Glasthule or Sandycove afterward. ### **The Safety Logic (The Small Print)** *I am **not** a PT or a certified coach. I am just a guy who loves the sport and wants to share tips. By joining, you are responsible for your own safety and injury prevention. We play hard, but we play smart.* ### **Weather Note** We are weather-dependent. If it’s typical "Dublin Grey," we train. If it’s a total washout, I’ll post an update here by 5:00 PM on the day.

We will start the session with some light stretching exercises to warm us up, and help to prepare us for the run. The pace of the run will be steady, depending on who is running with us on the day. Days when we have a large group we may break into multiple groups, each operating independently at their own pace. Saturdays are good for intermediate runners, and is usually a 10km run, again at a steady pace. If you're looking to get into running, come along on Tuesday or Thursday mornings and I will coach you, at your pace, to get you up to running (jogging) to 5km without stops. The only thing I will ask, if you're a beginner, is that you're able to walk for approx 30 minutes at a relaxed pace. PLEASE NOTE: That, if you RSVP a particular event, then please ensure that you attend, as there may be other members relying on you for company on the run. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any run or activity that you participate in with the group will be at your own risk. Usually we have a post run (after our cool down) coffee in the Dash container at the Hole in the Wall pub.

Hi ladies. We will meet in front of the Nature Center and head to the two Observation decks. We will then hike Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook and Sugarbush trails to get approximately four miles total distance. We will walk approximately a 18 minute mile pace. Please wear appropriate hiking shoes.

We will hike the Ridge Trail and Meadows Trail twice, for a total of 3.8 miles. There are some pretty good inclines so plan on getting a cardio workout :). This is a loop which is pretty easy to follow; thus faster walkers can take the lead and the rest (like me) will bring up the rear at a slightly slower pace. You could also just do the loop once for 1.9 miles. No one left behind. Optional lunch to follow in Canal Winchester. I'm working through the metro parks - this is the third one!

This is a small but pretty park with a 1.7-mile loop. We will walk it 2 times. It goes along a ridge and has moderate elevation changes.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

We may pick a specific topic and post in advance or may discuss current events and various ad hoc topics . We would love to spend time hanging out and getting to know one another. Atheist, agnostics, other non-theists, and atheist-friendly people are welcome to join us. Note: COUNT operates a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/COUNT.discussions (http://www.facebook.com/groups/COUNT.discussions/) to promote discussions among members and visitors.
