Updates on inline skating and club activities July 7, 2007
Dear OISC,
We've had so much action in June, I feel like I need a breather just writing about them. This issue covers both local and far flung inline skating stuff. Enjoy!

Nationals in Ottawa

Take in some action and support inline skaters!  
Calories and Skating
Mike leads pack at Disney Mike put together a pretty thorough caloric perspective on skating.
 
And alas what site would be complete without a calorie calculator. Thanks Mike!
OISC Race team: a desire to train
Pan_Am qualifying at Provincials

Lead by Stephane Tremblay, the OISC race team offers the opportunity to all club's members to train with them on two other occasions during the week. Desire to learn and to train are the only requirements.

You're invited:
Tuesday July 10th - Race Team Clinic, Special location
: Aylmer Track @ 6:30PM. If you can volunteer to bring an extra broom and help clean the track, please let us know.

Every Wednesday morning 6AM, you can join the Wednesday Skating Boot Camp where participants do some jogging and stretching followed by leg and core strengthening exercises including hill runs, low walks, sit-ups, push-up and sprints for 1 hour. Please note that this training is not on skates.

 

On Saturday morning the training session is a bit longer usually starting at 9:30AM for at least 2 hours. We do sprints and longer distance track skates, intervals, relays, track techniques including tight turns, cross-overs, overtaking, starts and finishes. We finish with stretching and core and leg strengthening exercises. These two training sessions are excellent opportunities to strengthen your muscles, improve your fitness level and skating skills. For information on these sessions and more e-mail stephane.tremblay@rogers.com.
