The document summarizes an organization called the November Project that provides free fitness classes in downtown Indianapolis. It meets every Wednesday morning for an hour-long workout that includes a warm-up, upbeat music, and challenging routines designed by the leaders. Pictures from the workouts are later posted online. The project is open to all ages and fitness levels. It aims to help people stay in shape during the fall and winter months through fun group workouts.

1. To go or not to go to the gym today? In this ruthless battle
between a warm bed and a sweaty fitness club, pillows and fluffy
blankets almost always win. It is just hard to find a gym-buddy. If you
are looking to stay fit and want to save money, this may be for you.
The majority of personal trainers recommend working out two
to three times per week. When you are not lifting dumbbells, taking
a hit to a punching bag or ______, personal trainers suggest doing
cardio, such as walking, running, or cycling.
While many workout options are available, it appears young
people still find it difficult to work out alone. As team sports have
illustrated, it is more effective and fun to work out with a group. I
want to introduce you to an amazing organization, one of which will
make you sweat like hell, help you find new friends and have fun!
Welcome to The November Project!
NP Indy is a free fitness movement, located in downtown
Indianapolis. This project started in Boston as a way to stay in shape
during cold fall and winter months. It does not have any restriction in
age, shape, or fitness level.
“Our members vary from Olympic medalists, professional
athletes, marathoners, triathletes, current and former collegiate
athletes, all the way to complete fitness rookies and recent couch
potatoes just looking to kick start their healthy life choices,” claimed
the project website.
Getting involved is very simple too.
Members meet every Wednesday morning at 6:15 a.m. at the
Indianapolis War Memorial. Just show up and kick as hard as you
can during the work out. The warm up goes first, which may include
a few jumps. Upbeat music helps keep you motivated during the
work out. The interesting fact about each project is that each tribes’
routine is different. Leaders put together creative and challenging
work outs.
Each practice lasts about an hour, with pictures following.
Group and individual photos are taken and then later posted on the
blog, the official project website and the Facebook group page.
If you have ever heard about crossfit, NP Indy is very similar,
but does not include weights. Trust me, you will not regret joining
this organization!
Show up, make healthy choices and remember that you
are beautiful!

The November Project
T
he 2014 American Football Conference Championship
was handed to the Indianapolis Colts on a silver platter.
The other three teams in the division all ended with
losing records while the Colts won every game.
Of those three teams competing to be king of the AFC
South, Tennessee looks to pose the slightest threat for the
Colts’ crown. Jacksonville and Houston were the bottom
two in the AFC standings, and both are looking to rebuild.
Tennessee will keep the majority of its
framework intact, but it has lost offensive
star Kenny Brit to free agency and released
former Pro Bowler Chris Johnson, who
signed with the Jets.
The Colts’ road to the playoffs looks
similar to the previous year: Win the
majority of the games in the division while
dropping a few to some out-of-division foes.
Indianapolis will open the regular season
Sept. 7 in Denver against Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
The following week, the Colts defense will be tested again,
this time against Chip Kelly’s Eagles offense on Monday
Night Football. Both will be difficult contests.
While losing longtime Colt Antoine Bethea is a big hit
for a defense that sputtered multiple times in the later weeks
of last season (losses to St. Louis, Arizona and Cincinnati

ITIZEN
A&E + CAMPUS + CITY + SPORTS
The road to repeat
after allowing 38 or more points in all contests), the addition of
former Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson more than makes up
for it.
The offensive side has some questions to answer as well.
How will future Hall of Famer Reggie Wayne perform after
tearing his ACL and missing the majority of the season? How
will newly added receiver Hakeem Nicks fit into the Pagano
offense?
Maybe the biggest question is: What will the
running game look like for Indianapolis? Early last
season the Colts traded a first-round pick for Trent
Richardson, a two-time BCS champion and the third-
overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. The initial reaction
was that he was a steal, and the Colts instantly became
the Super Bowl favorite. Then Richardson donned the
blue and white. He finished the season with 458 yards,
half the total he recorded the previous year, and only
three touchdowns.
So what do the Colts have if Richardson flops? Donald
Brown is now in San Diego. Vick Ballard Is still on the roster,
and Amad Bradshaw will be back to take some of the carries.
The Colts must decide who the team’s No. 1 is.
Will the Colts repeat in the division? More than likely. The
real question is whether the team can adjust once playoff time
comes.
