Dance team members are great examples of fitness and team spirit.
This year, consider a Post holiday boot camp fundraiser to meet your fundraising goals and to keep others motivated to stay in great form.
After the Christmas or Hanukkah holidays, your team can host a great fundraising event that involves people old and young.
You can host an all day health event.
Using your school field or gymnasium, you can organize separate stations with different mini-classes to help whip everyone into shape.
Some can be aerobic, dance related, jump rope, weight training exercises, anything that will get people's heart rates up and in the spirit of fitness.
First, set a date that gives you adequate time to publicize and prepare to promote your boot camp.
Involve local media, other school athletes and friends and family to spread the word about your event.
You may want to get local experts - teachers from a local gym, dance instructors, personal trainers to volunteer their time to teach or supervise different stations at the event.
Second, sell tickets to your New Year New You boot camp.
There should be something for everyone there - friends, family, neighbors, community members, young and old should feel welcome at your boot camp.
Have different levels of intensity and training available so that even children or older people can feel comfortable participating.
Although there should be drinking fountains and water coolers available, you can also sell Gatorade, water bottles and other healthy snacks for additional profit.
You can set the price for your Post Holiday Fitness Boot Camp - sell tickets for as little or as much as you want to and watch the profit roll in.
This is also a fun way to get people of all ages together, in a healthy, spirited atmosphere in the new year into spring.
