Girls on the Run

By , on October 1st, 2010

Recently I came across an organization that I think is fantastic. As a mom to two young daughters I’m very conscious about teaching them to be healthy and happy inside and out. This means not only educating them about nutrition and physical fitness but also helping them develop a positive self esteem. Girls on the Run of Milwaukee is a group that does just that!

Girls on the Run is a life-changing, experiential learning program for girls age eight to thirteen years old. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.

Fit Milwaukee Goes Hiking

By , on February 2nd, 2010

Everyone please welcome Jim and Cheryl Raffel to the Fit Milwaukee blogging family!

Because I was raised in a hiking family, I never viewed hiking as exercise. Hiking is just something I have always done. My parents planned week long annual family vacations around hiking destinations like Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. In both those places the views and wildlife are so amazing you seldom think about how tired and sore your body is from a day of hiking (sometimes as far as 8-10 miles).
