Week 4 of our Summer Training

WEEK 4 Week four has begun!  
(Please note: we ran into some issues that messed up how the blog was displayed.  I think I fixed it but if you see errors or anything doesn't make sense just let me know) 

After this week, some of you will be officially through one full month.  For those of you who just started, you can search through our blog and look back on the previous weeks or just kick things off with week 4.  
Ideally, I would suggest starting with week 1 unless you are joining some friends who have been doing this since the beginning.  After four weeks you should be seeing a change in how your body moves and feels and starting to feel more confident about reaching your goals.  If you have any questions, feel free to message me anytime.

UPDATE: Lower Merion Weight Room is set to open one full week earlier this year. Starting Monday August First I will be back at Lower Merion five days a week while running both clubs and taking care of the farm so if I am slower than usual to respond please understand it’s only because I don’t have access to the internet 20+ hours a week while I am at the school. Additional 

Update #2: We have been working on the outdoor area at the Farm Gym and it’s coming together nicely.  Currently the side garden is doing nicely and features Banana Plants which should grow some fruit and the orchard is doing well but probably won’t see much until next year.  We are also in the early stages of setting up a fishpond that will be up and running once I finish digging it out.  Hoping to have the pond wrapped up by the Fall.  The goal is to have an area for our athletes and their parents to relax before/post workout and be able to gather fresh fruit, eggs, and vegetables each week.  Each year as the plants grow (and we get more hens) we will be able to provide more healthy food for our clients. 

This Weeks Favor: Thís week I am asking for just 2very simple favors.  The first, if you could check out our daughter's online bookstore at www.bettiebooks.com that would be amazing.  Together, we have been working on books as she learns how to build and run a business.  While she is only five years old some of her ideas have really taken off and since starting this business last October, she has sold a decent amount of books already. All books can be purchased on Barnes and Nobles website but if you click the Bettie Books link you’ll be able to find the full collection. 


Second favor, each blog post will be including a few Amazon products. Please take a second and just click the link and check them it.  A quick glance at these products will do a lot for us and help us build this free program faster.
