Greetings!
PARENTS, IT'S YOUR TURN NOW. HURRY UP! THE SUMMER GOES BY TOO QUICKLY.
The children are off to camp or their scheduled summer activities, and now it is time for you.
As a working mom who has raised two daughters I know how hectic life can be and how difficult it can be to find time for yourself.
That is why I have dedicated a portion of this newsletter to all of the busy parents, caregivers, health professionals, teachers, and others who spend endless hours caring for children.
I also want to share a sampling of some of the exciting events that Energetic Juniors trainers have been involved in this spring to help kids stay active.
Best, Bonita Porte, Founder |

Mindful Walking for Everyone
 Almost everyone knows that walking is good for their health, and is a wonderful source of cardiovascular exercise. However, you can use your walking time to learn about your body and help it to function in a better, more comfortable way.
· While you walk, pay attention to the sensations on the soles of your feet (high heels and shoes with stiff soles make this task very difficult). Feel your weight shifting from your heel to the toes. Do your toes push off the ground with each step? Do they spread out? Walking with mindfulness about the soles of your feet can turn an ordinary stroll into a foot massage if you really let all of the joints and muscles in your feet move!
· Also pay attention to how your arms move when you walk. Are you holding tension in your shoulders or chest that would prevent them from gently swaying with each step? Do you keep your elbows tightly bent and pump your arms with unnecessary force? Think about letting your arms swing in a relaxed, natural way: your whole body will thank you for it.
