Gym memberships these days can be competitive with some gyms starting to resemble mini-resorts. Heavy weights, special gym attire and the overwhelming space full of unknown equipment can be intimidating for a first-time gym-goer. Gym-idation (gym intimidation) can start to set in and if we let it, it can be the reason why we stop going altogether. Thankfully, there are exercises that don’t require heavy equipment, special attire or awkward grunts to get the results we want. We can even do them watching TV! I’d call it active listening! Why not get your heart rate pumping with a few leg lifts here and there or an arm swing to-and-fro while watching the latest episode of Scandal? Here are some of my favorites, and if done consistently you should see results. Do what you can and what works for you. Exercises off the beaten path (non-gym exercises): Sources:

![]() If you watch ‘Dancing with the Stars’ I’m sure you understand the want to just get up and dance while the performances are on. Maybe your hips swing a little from side-to-side or your imagination runs wild as you picture yourself on the big screen as one of the top five teams. While observing from the comfort of your couch won’t make you an instant dancing star, taking a leap of faith in enrolling in a dance class could not only get you those rockin’ dance moves, but could prove to be beneficial for your body and overall health. New friends, building confidence and encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle are only some of the many benefits that can spring from taking up dance as a hobby. Need a little more convincing? Check out Dance Life Map’s 31 reasons to dance: Not sure of where to start looking for a dance class? Check out our full listing of dance classes that we are offering this summer. We hope to see you on the dance floor soon! May the 4th be with you! Today, Star Wars™ fanatics unite to celebrate all things Star Wars™. What a fun holiday! The pun, ‘May the 4th’ was actually first used in 1979 in relation to Margaret Thatcher.
“Margaret Thatcher has won the election and become Britain’s first woman prime minister. To celebrate their victory her party took a half page of advertising space in the London Evening News. This message, referring to the day of victory, was ‘May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations,’ further proof of the extent to which Star Wars has influenced us all.” On May 4th, fans around the world celebrate by hosting movie marathons, throwing themed parties and even connecting over social media. It’s obvious that fans really get into this. Honestly, who wouldn’t? For those of you who haven’t dedicated hours and energy into the iconic world, the official Star Wars™ website made something just for you: a quick cheat sheet to better understand the main themes throughout the story. This just goes to prove that it’s never too late to get into the Star Wars™ spirit. NEISD Community Ed has even joined The Force with our new youth summer class: Robotics Club USA: Star Wars® - Engineering Apprentice (Ages 8-14). In this class, your kiddo will delve into the world of engineering and incorporate their knowledge into building Star Wars™ galaxy vehicles. This class is offered at two different locations this summer, Vineyard Ranch Elem. and Hidden Forest Elem. Visit our website https://communityed.neisd.net for details and registration information on this class. While you’re there, take a minute to browse through our adult classes as well. You might even find something to get your brain gears moving. Happy Star Wars™ Day and may the 4th be with you! ![]() We’ve all been in the position of counting down to something.
