Wake up. Work out. DONE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KKltxVko4w This is a core strength workout. We do boot camp style exercises, so think pushups, situps, planks, squats, burpees, etc. There's a lot of smiles and laughing involved, too... (and the high fives will come back as we leave the COVID era behind!) Not sure how to do burpees? Pike jumps? Dragon Pushups? That's fine! We'll teach you. This is an awesome way to rock your body and get fit fast. We welcome all fitness levels! Even if you have not worked out in years we want you to join us. Working out with fun, encouraging people in a group setting is better than trying to do this all on your own. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME!

All players must RSVP. Please be on time (i.e. arrive 10-20 minutes early)! Everyone must bring their own light and dark shirt (no greys or in-between pastels). No sliding tackles No studded cleats (flats or turf shoes only) No bad attitudes - we play hard, but we all just want to have fun and get some exercise. It ain't that serious ;) Please bring $3 cash to pay at the game - there's no venmo account dedicated to the group.

All are welcome to join us at our club meeting/happy hour—this time at Metropolis. We are taking signups for remaining available trips before they sell out! If you’re signed up for our extended weekend in Sunday River, please join us for a special meet and greet with the trip leaders and others going on the trip.

Blizzard watch! There's a chance of 5+ inches on Sunday. If that comes true, we'll meet for some afternoon skiing or maybe Monday morning skiing. \- You must have your own skies \- Don't plan on driving to the park \- We'll probably do about 5 miles\, heading to the Vale of Cashmere and circling back over prospect mountain

Hi Hikers, I'm heading to Lake Placid for a weekend of winter fun. Depending on conditions, any combination of backcountry cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, resort cross-country, or even snowshoeing is possible, but I'm aiming for: * Downhill skiing at Whiteface on Saturday * Backcountry XC skiing (with the Appalachian Mountain Club) on Sunday **Two important notes:** 1. Winter trips are always difficult to plan due to varied conditions and plans might change at the least minute. Just bear that in mind. However, as of Feb 9th, conditions are the best they've been in years! ([See bark eater ski conditions for updates](https://www.betatrails.org/conditions).) 2. I screen all participants for weekend trips. If you are interested, RSVP and shoot me (Andre) a message. As with all of Hiking & Nature's trips, this is not a guided or paid trip. It is a social trip for outdoor enthusiasts, and I want to check that everyone has accurate expectations. **Trip Details:** * **Schedule:** Plan to arrive Friday night for a full day of activities Saturday and a half day Sunday before driving back. * **Cost:** Attendees are responsible for their own lodging, food, transport, and other costs. * **Lodging:** TBD. Tmax Hostel by default ($32/night for bunk rooms). There is potential to book a house or condo if a good deal on a refundable option becomes available. **Required Gear & Skills for BC XC:** * **Solid expert resort XC skills:** Backcountry trails can be much steeper and narrower than resort blacks. They are ungroomed (or even unbroken) and may contain unbridged stream crossings, blowdowns, and other backcountry hazards. * **Backcountry cross-country gear:** BC XC skis with metal edges are required, with a backcountry boot and backcountry binding (for example: Fischer Traverse 78 Crown). Skins are highly recommended. * **Layered winter clothing suitable for temps in the single digits:** Wicking base-layer top and bottom; insulating top layer (usually fleece); windbreaker/softshell jacket; insulated water-resistant pants; waterproof shell pants and jacket; big puffy jacket; warm and water-resistant gloves and mittens (two pair); face protection; winter hat; headlamp; gaiters; chemical hand and foot warmers.

It's the annual race at Hunter Mountain with the NJ Ski Council. RSVP for more details or to carpool. RSVP closes the day prior at 4pm.
