Find a Workout in Your Community
March 3rd, 2008 · Filed Under: Abs Exercise
Howdy!
Almost every Saturday morning at 9:00 here in Dallas, I run a free workout for the community. It’s an outdoor workout, and we always have a fun time and get in a great workout. Below is a picture of the group that came out for the workout this past Saturday.
You can easily find a free workout in your community. There is an online resource called Meetup, where you can search for fitness groups and workouts in your local area.
Whether you are looking for a walking group, or a bootcamp style workout, chances are that you can find one in your area on Meetup.
Not all of the Meetup groups are free, but a lot of them are. My Saturday morning workout group is called the Playground Fitness Club and I have chosen to make these workouts free as a way for me to give back to the community.
If you are looking for a walking group in your area and can’t find one, you can start one yourself. Once you create your group, other people on Meetup who search for fitness groups in your area will see yours and become a member of your group.
Soon enough you’ll have a whole big group of people in your community coming together for a fun workout.
Starting or joining a workout group in your community is one of the best things you can do to help get rid of obesity in this world once and for all.
Check out my good friend Scott Tousignant’s Obliterate Obesity Report that gives you other ways that you can help put an end to this terrible epidemic. You can download it on his new blog called Obliterate Obesity. Enter in your name and email address at the upper right hand corner of his blog, and the report will be emailed to you.
Do you have any other ideas on how we can get rid of obesity? What else can you or I do in our communities? Please share your comments below.
Have a great day!
Scott

Hello Scott;
Great picture of all you ladies!!Congratulations for taking the time to take care of yourself by setting time aside to get yourself in shape..I am just a bit envious of you all as you all are in shorts and t-shirts..where I live in Saskatchewan I woke up to temperatures that were -23 with a wind chill of -35..just to start my car and warm it up I had to bundle up..it is a great workout though to dress up real warm and go for a fast brisk walk-gets the adrenaline pumping…where I work at a daycare centre some of us ladies have set a goal that everyday we are going to take our children out for a 30-minute walk–bundle them up or else when it is too cold to do some gymnastics with them and some running and jumping inside-loads of fun and yet us adults get a workout as well..thanks Helen Cowan

Hi Scott, love your blog! As a fellow fitness instructor, I always find so much helpful information on your site. I’m wondering if you ever travel to talk/demonstrate your work at fitness trainer conventions — I would love to see you do your work in person! Lainy
