Relief for Haiti, Health for You

Haiti's disaster relief efforts are taking many forms. Former first daughter, Chelsea Clinton, for example, is co-hosting a 90-minute spinning class in New York City to raise funds. Her efforts inspired me call up friends and host a fund raising yoga party. I encourage you to do the same or join an established group. This week I round up fitness for Haiti events, in addition to posting a new group exercise class and a gadget for swimmers.

Ride/Run for Relief

If you're compelled to do something physical and raise money for Haiti disaster relief, you're in good company. QuadSpin Toronto East is hosting a three-hour Ride for Relief Sunday January, 24 at 3 p.m. A $20 donation will benefit Doctors Without Borders. Running Free asks you to register online for its Pay What You Can, Run What You Can event Saturday January 30 at 9 a.m. Finally, Fiterati in Los Angeles can join TV's Josh Duhamel and The American Red Cross Youth Run 4 Haiti Saturday, January 23 at 9 a.m. for a two-mile run on the beach at Santa Monica Pier.

Fit2Shred

Extreme Fitness has teamed up with Joe Costa, director of Mind to Muscle Sports Medicine, to help you carve some curves with a new group exercise class. FIT2SHRED is a sport specific series designed to develop snow-boarding skills and muscular endurance. Wanna-be snow boarders will improve foot speed agility, core strength, leg power, and balance using a variety of athletic equipment, including BOSU balls, hurdles, agility ladders, cones and boards. All exercises aim to produce fast, reactive movements needed for muscular endurance. Classes are offered exclusively at Extreme Fitness Richmond starting January 15th, 2010 and are free for members. Non-members can get a free class by visiting Extreme Fitness.ca.

Waterproof iPod

H2O Audio Interval for iPod shuffle 3rd Generation
