Polar Bears


I am so grateful to Kathleen for giving me the gift of fitness. Her job at the Tybee YMCA has given me a discounted membership. Callahan and Chelsea both work for the Y so their memberships are included. I am taking Zumba and Water Aerobics with Chelsea and Laura, Tone and Burn with Sunny and Bonnie, Spin class with Randi, Core Fitness with James and April, Yoga with Betsy, Will, Susan and Jim.... not to mention Family Fusion Surf Camp with Turner and Alex last summer and all of the other great programs like Skate Night in the gym etc., etc., etc.
The Y's motto: “We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities,” will happen if you take advantage of all the Y has to offer. After a year of working out at the Y, see for yourself the improvements in this picture taken at the Polar Bear Plunge in 2008 and again in 2009.
Since I took the new job with the City of Savannah 2 weeks ago, my challenge will be to stay fit and get my workouts in around that 8-5 schedule. When he gets a break from SCAD classes and baseball, Cal can be spotted in Tybee Y's fitness center. Professional baseball player and former SCAD all-star pitcher Richard Sullivan got a pump in with Cal at the Tybee Y on MLK day (Richard has been working out and coaching with SCAD preparing for spring training). Callahan has generously outlined my workout:
