Are you interested in proper nutrition and fitness for life? Does your inquiring mind want the facts about physical fitness? Be a myth-buster by learning about daily exercise, weight training, weight management and nutrition. Learn to find your pulse and determine your rate of exertion during exercise. Safety and proper mechanics will be covered during indoor and outdoor exercises. Participate in daily exercises through either weight training or cardiovascular exercise. Each day will end with preparing a healthy meal or snack!
Do you have an interest in songwriting? Have you shown a poem to friends and family and had them tell you that it would be a terrific song? This workshop is designed to help you make that connection! You will learn to recognize and understand different types of popular song structures, understand the vital connection between lyrics and music, and write lyrics that can stand on their own as powerful poetry (and vice versa). If you are a musician, this workshop will help you construct lyrics. If you are a poet, we can help with the music. All are welcome!
