A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dream Builders GED Leadership Initiative - Rodarte Community CenterThe City of Greeley continues to assist youth in Greeley by offering a range of healthy activities for brain and body. A relatively new program has been initiated at the Rodarte Community Center through Dream Builders. The program is a GED preparation course focusing on math, history, civics, language arts and science. The Dream Builders GED/Leadership Initiative is a classroom based program for those who are re-engaged and ready to prepare for the GED test. Test-ready students can also use the Dream Builders’ strategies and leadership mentoring to help build self-confidence and testing skills.

The program is peer based allowing students to mentor new students and share successes, both educationally and socially. In addition, mentors encourage and provide the skills necessary to develop passions for positive community involvement. Our thanks go to the program’s current volunteer instructors Ken Storck and Mike Dugan, who are doing a fantastic job improving the lives of youth in Greeley.

If you’d like to help by volunteering your time or other resources, please contact CJ Archibeque, Recreation Program Manager, at 350.9548.

Spring is right around the corner! Now, think way back to New Years - what did you resolve for 2012? Are you still maintaining that resolution or was it just a “to do” list for January? Like many Americans, it’s most likely that you, or someone you know, resolved to “get fit” or lose weight because those two items make the top 10 of all lists every year. Rightfully so - your overall health is very much tied to these goals. This can help you start or maintain an exercise regimen.We all know that the evidence for regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure and even improves arthritis. Regular exercise just simply makes you feel better! Did you also know that nearly 55% of Colorado adults and 25% of our children are overweight or obese?! And we’re the “healthy” state! So it’s not surprising to find that weight loss is one of the most popular resolutions - but this doesn’t need to be just for New Year’s. You can start at any time – and setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors in sticking with a weight loss program, and the key to success in shedding those extra pounds.When losing weight, increasing physical activity also increases the number of calories your body uses for energy or “burns off.” The burning of calories

combined with reducing the number of calories you eat, creates a “calorie deficit” that results in weight loss.Most weight loss occurs because of decreased caloric intake. However, evidence

shows the only way to maintain weight loss is to be engaged in regular physical activity. Most importantly, physical activity reduces risks of cardiovascular disease

and diabetes beyond that produced by weight reduction alone.If you would like additional information, please explore www.healthyweld2020.com or www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/physical_activity.

Top Ten List for exercise in the City of Greeley (goal – at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week):• Ice skate at the Ice Haus• Take a walk in one of Greeley’s

wonderful neighborhood parks or just through your own neighborhood!

• Ride the Poudre Trail on a bicycle from Island Grove to Hwy 392 (21 paved miles one way!). Visit www.poudretrail.org

• Swim at the FunPlex or at the GRC

(Greeley Recreation Center)• Join a boxing class at Rodarte• Play noon basketball at the GRC

or hit the hoops at the Rodarte Center or FunPlex

• Walk/jog the track at the FunPlex• Play a round of golf (carrying clubs

and walking!) at Boomerang or Highland Hills

• Join in a racquetball match at the GRC

• Participate in a fitness or dance class!

• Lastly, for regular exercise and classes, I invite you to check out the Ice Haus, the GRC or the FunPlex for memberships and what we have to offer for you and your family. You’ll be glad you did!

Happy recreating (and exercising)!

This class is an introduction to the Ancient Art of Belly Dance. The basis of Belly Dance is a strong, inner core of muscles and flexibility, so repetition is vital. You will learn the history and some interesting facts about the benefits of Belly Dance and how to isolate muscles you never knew you had. Techniques are Yoga based, so they are easy on the body and joints as you are learning to build the strength and flexibility necessary for this type of dance (Belly Dance is considered non impact). Tone your muscles, increase your flexibility, enjoy the company of others, while having fun! Age 12+.

THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORYIt was drizzling in Portland, Oregon on January 10, 1969, the day The Old Spaghetti Factory opened its doors for the first time. Today, The Old Spaghetti Factory is an international restaurant company serving more than 10 million customers annually. In an industry where few places ever see their seventh anniversary, The Old Spaghetti Factory’s continued success is a rarity. The formula for that success has been the result of smart thinking, even smarter operating instincts, and an uncanny devotion to customer value. The Old Spaghetti Factory’s success is its ability to deliver a complete dinner (salad, bread, spaghetti entrée, beverage and dessert) for a very reasonable price.Age 50+.
