Femmes FITales is a medium/high intensity,
varied workout designed for women. We use
weights, medicine balls and our own body
weight to make us stronger. We emphasize
core strength training and endurance and have
two days a week of intense cardio exercise.
The format changes from week to week, and
you’ll never have the same workout twice.
Every other Friday, we devote the entire class
to stretching and core exercises, so you’ll also
have a chance to work flexibility and balance.
Class size is small so you'll get individual
attention, encouragement and coaching.
We meet every weekday morning, rain or
shine from 5:45 to 6:45am at Williamsburg
Middle School in Arlington. No class on
Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s day,
or if Arlington County Schools are closed
due to inclement weather.
If you want to get into shape, meet fun
people and be pushed harder than you will
push yourself, Femmes FITales is for you.

Pilates for Mommy & Me
Meet other moms while you get back in shape...
and bond with your baby at the same time.
New moms need to strengthen and tone their
abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, the areas
that are especially weakened by pregnancy and
childbirth. Each class targets deep abdominal
muscles, releases tension in the back, neck and
shoulders and improves overall posture. Bring
your baby with you so you can enhance your
maternal bond and increase your flexibility
and strength. Remember to bring a supportive
pillow for your baby. Walter Reed Center.

If you are interested in introspective movement,
you will like this class. The Feldenkrais Method is

You will be outwardly moving the whole time,
while simultaneously exploring a given inward
focus. You will also learn more about anatomy.
Feldenkrais increases your awareness of yourself.
Over the sessions you are likely to find that you
are more relaxed, nagging pains are diminishing,
you are feeling more limber and energetic and
new options are opening up for you. Bring a
bath towel to cover the County-supplied mats
and, if you desire, a small pillow. (You can take

Are You Taking a
Swimming Class?
Arlington County is proud to provide
lessons that are based on the Red
Cross Learn-to-Swim Program. When
registering please make sure participants
can complete all necessary prerequisites
prior to beginning the class. Student
who are not at the right level hinder the

when contaminated. Swim diapers or
snug-fitting plastic pants must be worn
by anyone who is incontinent. Also
please do not eat within 30 minutes of
swimming.
Children under nine years old must be
accompanied by an adult at all times in
the building. Children under five must
have a guardian in the water with them
when class is not in session. If the pool
is open for public swim after class,
children can swim up to 5 minutes but
a guardian must be with them in the
water at this time.

Signing Smart™ Beginner
Play Class
Signing Smart strategies integrate more than 150
American Sign Language signs into songs, games
and activities developed to engage very young
children and their parents. Research has shown
that using American Sign Language with hearing
babies and toddlers allows communication and
spoken language to happen earlier and faster,
while reducing frustration and tantrums. Most
children have two to three words by 12 months,
whereas Signing Smart™ children typically
have 25 signs and 16 words! Most children start
combining words into two-word sentences by
20 months, whereas Signing Smart™ children
typically do this by 11-14 months and some
as early as six months! The National Institute
of Health even found a 12-point IQ increase
for eight year-olds who used signs as young
children. More research, class pictures and
family quotes at www.ParentChildU.com. Home

Bailey, Ph.D. Gain a deeper understanding
of how children develop in order to foster
self-esteem (both yours and theirs) by looking
for solutions instead of blame. Find out how to
give effective commands so children are more
likely to choose to do what you say and guide

solving. Learn to recognize the two ways that
