NorthPointe to host fun physical challenge
ROSCOE - Those who are looking for a little challenge in your workouts may want to consider the NorthPointe Wellness Center Prairie Adventure Challenge, set for Sept. 20 at the center at 5605 E. Rockton Road, Roscoe.
The Challenge is open to NorthPointe members, as well as the public, and will offer five stations of fitness.
“This is a personal challenge for those who participate and not a direct competition,” explains Tracy Robertson, Fitness Manager at NorthPointe Wellness. “We designed it to showcase the variety of activities you can do to improve your fitness level. We'll have a station that teaches activities such as spinning (bikes), strength, balance, and even yoga.”
The Prairie Adventure Challenge is a 1 KM adventure trail consisting of five challenge stations suitable for all fitness levels. There are even opportunities to modify the options if needed. NorthPointe is built on 122 acres of restored prairie and includes walking paths for the community, making this a scenic event as well.
The event begins at 8:30 a.m. Groups participating in the challenge will begin every 15 minutes to allow the group ahead of them to finish each station. Stations includes Zumba instruction (aerobic Latin dance), Group Cycling on indoor spinning bikes, Balance with the BOSU balls, Strength and Abdominals with resistance bands, and a Yoga cool down on the lawn.
“Most of the course is outside so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful fall weather and prairie grounds,” Robertson said. “We will host the event rain or shine and if needed move the events inside. Participants should wear comfortable exercise clothes, walking shoes, sunscreen and a fun outlook. Our goal is for participants to have fun, be safe, and enjoy the benefits of fitness.”
The entry fee for the Challenge is $10 before Sept. 20 or $15 on the day of the event. The fee includes a Prairie Adventure Challenge T-shirt. Water and snacks will be included in the registration fee. People can register at the NorthPointe campus and pick up their event packet or register by mail.
For more information, contact Tracy Robertson at 815-525-4907 or visit the Website at www.NorthPointeWellness.com. Participants are asked to be at least 18 years old. NorthPointe Health and Wellness campus is at 5605 E. Rockton Road, Roscoe close to the I-90 Rockton Road. exit.
