Kids Summer Fun BootCamp Sessions |
Tumby Bay & Port Lincoln
Thinking Fitness will be providing a brand new service to our community of children including Kids Ki-Max Kickbox, Kids Beach BootCamp & Kids Kung Fu. Sessions start next week the 15th December & carry on up to Christmas Eve. We hope to restart the programs late January so visit our web site to stay posted on exact dates & details.
Fitness Boot Camps for kids ideally suits kids between 8 & 16. The 1.5 hour sessions consist of a segment of education on nutrition-diet-exercise and encouragement on how to make healthy choices.
After the learning portion, the kids move on to games and activities all fitness/exercise related. Circle Chat is the final segment where kids can ask questions, share stories or thoughts about their experience with exercise, food and diet.
Each portion of the session has an emphasis on all things meant to inspire, educate and motivate children to want to begin to take control of their health at an early age.
Most importantly this "boot camp" is meant to be a place where exercise and nutrition are promoted in a fun, non-threatening, non-competitive environment.
Corey Slade & Jennifer Nixon will host each session ensuring adequate supervision, support & encouragement.
If you refer another child you get $5 cash back for each one!
If you book more than one session you get $5 cash back each time!
For December times check 'Events' below.
To book your child's place click the link in the title bar above.
For more details call me on 8688 1932. |

Kicked Up Guacamole with Lump Crabmeat
|
Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse
 Ingredients
3 large, ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/3 cup minced cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup minced red onions
1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh jicama
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over to remove shells and cartilage
Tortilla chips, for dipping
Directions
In a large bowl, place all but 1/4 cup of the avocado pieces. Add 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, 1 teaspoon of the jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and a pinch of cayenne, and mash with the back of a fork until smooth.
Add 1/4 cup of the onions, 1/4 cup of the tomatoes and 1/4 cup of the jicama to the avocado mixture, and stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with the crabmeat and gently toss to combine. Fold the crabmeat mixture into the mashed avocado mixture, stirring to combine, but being careful not to break up the crabmeat.

Finish on a giggle for the month
A little girl asked her mother: 'How did the human race appear?' The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve; they had children; and so was all mankind made.' Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.' The confused girl returned to her mother and said, 'Mum, how is it poss! ible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?' The mother answered, 'Well, Dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family, and your father told you about his.'
 See you smiling at the next session... Sincerely,
Corey Slade
