dryer to get that one sock stuck at the back, you are squatting!
To practice your squat: get a firm chair set up behind you and
pushed up against a wall. Stand with your back straight, feet hip
width apart and arms straight out and parallel to the floor. Slowly
descend into the chair by pushing your butt back in the direction of
the seat. Do not plunk down into the chair, you’ll be missing a lot of
the benefit if you plunk! If you can’t control the plunk, raise the seat
by adding a pillow or two. Gradually work up to 3 sets of 10 to 15
squats with a short rest of 1 to 3 minutes in between sets. Practice 2
to 3 times a week. Consistency is the key to making muscles strong.
Squats are excellent calorie burners, work the core and the large
powerful glutes and quads. This exercise benefits all daily activities.
DOS AND DON’TS: DON’T let your knees go past your toes as
you descend. DON’T let your knees collapse in on themselves.
DO try to keep your back straight. DO exhale as you stand and
inhale as you sit.
MARCHING, I’m not talking about a marching band, I’m talking
about one of my favorite core exercises. This exercise is great for
engaging all of your core muscles and supporting your back.
To practice marching: Lie down on a yoga mat or carpet with
feet on the floor and knees bent. Flatten your spine into the mat
with a small pelvic tilt and tuck your chin. Brace your mid-sec-
tion and raise one knee and then the other off the floor until
your shins are parallel to the floor in a “table-top” position.
Without letting your back arch, lower one heel to the floor while

and moon
“Aspens and Moon” was created by Denver artist Reven
Swanson. It is located in Tailwind Park at 5th Avenue and Alton
Way. “Aspens and Moon” is part of her “Dancing Moon” series
which is an extension of the artist’s figurative sculpture work.
Three aspen trees and a stained glass moon are constructed out
of tensioned steel and painted with bright colors. A breeze brings
them to life, fluttering and spinning in a dance, creating interest
and movement to the hillside.
Growing up in rural Colorado, as a young girl, Reven built forts
in ditches, swung on the backs of wild horses, and chased lizards
with her sister, Channing. It was a childhood experience that ran
closely with the rhythms of the natural world. In an expression
of that relationship, “Aspens and Moon” reminds us of peering
through a colorful canopy. For Ms. Swanson, installing public art
is like “leaving pieces of sunshine wherever she goes.”
