Active Brooklyn is forming a race team for a good cause... the Komen NYC Race For The Cure. Everyone knows someone who has been effected by breast cancer, so let's all do our part to eliminate this terrible disease.

There are 2 ways you can contribute... you can make a donation OR join the Active Brooklyn Race team for the 5 kilometer run/walk in Central Park on Sunday, September 12, 2010.

To make a donation simply click on the donate tab at the top of the Komen Website.

To join the Active Brooklyn Race Team click HERE and enter "Active Brooklyn" in the search box. The cost is $30 if you register before July 15th. Once you join our team, your task will be to get people you know to donate so we can reach our goal of $1500.

So open your wallet/purse and lace up your sneakers for a great cause!

We are making our Boot Camps a weekly affair! We will meet every Sunday (weather permitting) at the top of the steps to the monument in Fort Greene Park every Sunday at 10:30am sharp. Come try us out, your first class is FREE. After the initial free first class (and you realize how awesome it was and want to continue getting in shape and feeling better about yourself) you can pop in at $25 per class or sign up for a package deal of 5 classes for $100. So come on out and sweat with us. Out Boot Camps are for all fitness levels, and we offer all of the intensity with none of the in your face screaming. See you in the park!

If your schedule allows, exercise first thing in the morning before you eat a healthy & balanced breakfast. Overnight your body depletes your food based energy sources so it utilizes your fat based energy source for fuel more quickly. This will help you shed the fat and pounds at a faster rate. 

Alright Active Brooklynites, no excuses now!  We are offering a free, yes I said FREE Boot Camp Class in Fort Greene Park this Sunday (6/6/10) at 10:30am sharp.  We will meet at the top of the steps leading up to the monument.  Wear workout clothes, comfortable sneakers, and bring a bottle of water because we will make you sweat!  ALL fitness levels welcome!
