BRIO Fitness Challenge – July

notc summer race startBRIO Fitness Challenge – July

Throughout the year, we have challenged you to add a little BRIO to your life by tracking a different exercise each month.

The BRIO Fitness Challenge – July does not include a specific exercise, rather challenges you to get out and make this your most active summer yet. Yes, it’s hot outside but there is nothing wrong with a little sweat as long as you drink plenty of water.

Take your dog for a long walk. Go for a jog or a bike ride. Play ball with your kids. Go swimming.

We want to make it easy for you.  Come by and grab a BRIO July calendar to track your activity level. Keep it simple. Be sure to set a realistic goal. Exercised today? YES or NO.

Your July BRIO Fitness Challenge is to achieve an 80% success rate on your calendar. Not only will you experience more BRIO in your life, but you’ll look and feel better come August.

Double paddle winners, Team Baudry/BRIO took 3rd place in both the People’s Choice and the Judge’s competition.

Congratulations to overall winner’s, Team Liljeberg and Team People’s Choice for their outstanding effort!

All 28 teams showed skill, talent, and endurance to make it through the event.

While enjoying everyone’s cooking and secret techniques, we found some great tips to share:

  1. Jalapeño and pineapple… Surprisingly tasty
  2.  Deanie’s crawfish mix. Nice blend of spices.
  3. Frozen orange juice. Adds a nice balance of flavors.
  4. Lemon oil/lemon zest for a more citrus flavor
  5. Captain Sid’s crawfish mix.
  6. Tabasco Sauce

Other surprisingly good additions:

  1. Sweet potatoes… yum!
  2. Brussel Sprouts … yes, very good, but beware of eating too many!
  3. Artichoke … good, but tricky to get right.

Thanks to all who came out and added to the fun.

Rett Pourciau and the St. Catherine Men’s Club team did an outstanding job once again
