Have you ever wanted to run a 5k, climb a mountain, or twist your body into the perfect lotus, but aren\u2019t sure where to start? \u00a0Here are some places that can help you get started on achieving your goals:<\/p>\n
Team in Training is a wonderful organization that trains people to participate in endurance sporting events like marathons and triathlons while raising money to fight blood cancers for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. \u00a0They provide the coaching, access to limited events, and training to help you cross the finish line.<\/p>\n
Running Evolution is a women\u2019s running program that trains women to compete in running events like half marathons and full marathons, while providing camaraderie and training partners in a safe and supportive environment.<\/p>\n
There many \u201cCouch to 5k\u201d programs that train people who are new to running how to run safely and effectively so they can achieve their goals. \u00a0They generally pick a specific 5k so that you not only have people of similar ability to train with, but also have people to race with.<\/p>\n
The Seattle area has several triathlon clubs that provide off season training to help you build the skills and stamina to participate in multisport events. \u00a0They teach newcomers how to manage the logistics of participating in several sports on the same day and enable you to train with other people with similar experience levels.<\/p>\n
Swimming is great exercise, but can be daunting for adults who haven\u2019t swum much. \u00a0Say Yes To Life helps prepare people for open water swimming by providing supportive and safe group swims in a variety of locations around Seattle. \u00a0They are also available for private lessons. \u00a0We especially like the Wednesday Evening Stress Release swims!<\/p>\n
Most yoga studios have \u201cbeginner\u201d programs so that you can learn the basic yoga poses in a less intimidating environment with other beginners. \u00a0We like the beginner\u2019s class at Be Luminous.<\/p>\n
Rowing is competitive and fun team sport, but it’s not for the faint of heart. You can sign up to learn to row with the Lake Union Crew or Lake Washington Rowing Club.<\/p>\n
You can also find out about beginning groups at sports equipment stores like REI and running stores. \u00a0Many of them have their own programs and, if they don\u2019t, they can direct you places where you can learn a new sport. \u00a0You can also check out MeetUp \u2013 www.meetup.com<\/a> where you can find beginning groups in a variety of different categories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[258,127,257],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1847"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1847"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1852,"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1847\/revisions\/1852"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nelsonboydlaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
