Boot camp with Sean – Kenilworth Parkside Park track
Forgive the change in plans but our bootcamp instructor, Sean, was in injured by a motorist Sunday evening (sorry to those who came out for Sunday dusk bootcamp, too). As a result, 5:30 am bootcamp is canceled BUT our 6:15a yoga session taught by Shirley on Tuesday this week is still on.
See you soon, and lets offer Sean well wishes and a speedy recovery!
We hope you’ve enjoyed getting fit with the help of our EG Squared fitness experts this month. We were lucky to have two yoga instructors, two bootcamp instructors and a Zumba instructor.
As we approach the end of our grant period, this week ends some of their tenures, while others will continue to provide fitness. So worry not. Check out our final week with all of them here.
But wait, there’s more:
Some of our instructors will continue to provide group-led instructions, so worry not. We will also go to our original format where attendees lead your own workout. Just bring two exercises and lead your own workout with the rest of the group one of two times every day, meeting on the running track. Simple, right? Just bookmark our link so you know what time to meet us.
OK … so let’s get started and again, a BIG shout out to the East River Family Strengthening Collaborative for providing mats, water, fitness instructors to kick of EG Squared. Let’s continue and sustain this great effort – together!
Adrienne Shaw joins us this week for outdoor yoga. Meet her at 7p on the Kenilworth Parkside Park tennis courts. She’ll have water, mats and plenty of Ommm to help you kick off your weekend.
Tell a friend and come shake those hips with Zumba with Z Wednesday 7:15p at the Kenilworth Recreation Center senior room courtyard.
Lots of changes this week as of Monday afternoon!

Did you see the BYOFitness offering on our schedule but are wondering what it is?
It’s easy! We’re challenging you to Bring Your Own Fitness exercise moves – at least two – to share with EG2 members. That’s it!
Instead of calling this meet up a bootcamp (we do have one, though), we want attendees to bring moves that they’ve seen that best fit them. We also want you to try new things that you may not have thought of doing before. That’s where your neighbors’ fitness moves come in.
This is the core of Eastland Gardens Exercise Group – coming with an open mind to try some new stuff, and also making a personal contribution to this community fitness program.
So research some moves, remember them or write ’em down, and bring ’em to the next BYOFitness session. Need some help? Click here, or see some suggestions below.
Planks, jumping jacks, side crunches, leg lifts, shoulder rolls, push ups, we could go on.
Here’s EG2’s first BYOFitness session.
Covered pavilion near track
Running track
Walking trail entrance (where Anacostia Ave., Lee St and 40th St. meets)
Tennis Courts
Tennis court parking lot
Covered pavilion parking lot (between Polk St and Ord St on Anacostia Ave.)

Kudos to our first Eastland Garden Exercise Group attendees. We had a great time in 72 degree weather Saturday morning with Chuck Taylor during bootcamp. Teenager through seniors were there, enjoying FITNESS IN YOUR BACKYARD.
Join us! Check the schedule for sessions and locations and don’t be afraid: everything is modified for each and every attendee. Most important is that you come out and move that body!
Here’s a peek:
We will do our best to text and/or email you, and post here, but since EG2 meets right in your backyard, try to make it – you know how the storm warnings in D.C. work – they may come, they may not. If it ends up that we cannot meet, you live right around the corner and at least you won’t have wasted gas.
