Camps, Classes, & Events!

It's time to give you all an update with the happenings of Roots Wise... First off, starting on March 9th (this tuesday! get geared up and sign up!)is the first in a series of Adventure Conditioning Camps put on by Skye of Mocean365. Throughout the camps Roots Wise will be offering nutritional support and counseling for all those who preregister to fuel the fire and keep you active and healthy! What Mocean365 has to say about the camps: They will be on Tuesdays outside from 5-30- 7pm in Waterbury VT. The first camp called "Base Camp" is just that. Setting a base with general conditioning in a group setting outside. Nutrition work will be done by Roots Wise so you can get your machine running smooth. Movement and diet in one shot! Work the body in all planes of movement as we prepare for the more challenging work to come. Lots of fun, play based moves as well that will have you laughing as you are challenged, imagine that?! No stuffy gyms here, just fresh air, the elements(snow, rain, or shine) and preparing our body so we can do the stuff we love better and longer. Like ride our bikes, ski/board, or maybe just chase around the kids and be generally more fit and healthy and prevent injuries before they happen. We are also pleased to have some great sponsors providing support in the surrounding community. The Alchemist, Vermont Peanut Butter, I-Ride, Five Hills Bikes, and IdeRide will be adding to the goodies with some discounts and schwag as well! Big thanks to all of them!
