Stay positive everyone as we know that the Snow WILL return, but we'll just need to be patient - and keep dancing - until then.
That means more Online Strength on Tuesday and Ski Walking on Saturday.
Take this opportunity to look ahead to the upcoming events, keep your skis ready and the snow will be back before you know it!

BEFORE you start the workout, please make sure of the following:
- Make sure you have a safe place to perform basic bodyweight exercises
- Look for an open area 6ft x 8ft on a soft floor (e.g. carpet or mats) that isn't slippery
- Make sure you work with your parents to test your computer set-up so you can see, and be seen, as well as hear, and be heard
- Make sure you have proper athletic clothing and a water bottle
DURING the workout, please have a strong commitment to:
- Listen to ALL the instructions
- Try to do ALL the exercises with excellent form
- Put forth a consistent effort throughout the ENTIRE workout
PARENTS - YOU are encouraged to join in as ALL of these exercises will help YOUR skiing too!
Please be sure you review some of the exercises we will be doing HERE beforehand.
Saturday – Ski Walking at Hardwood
We will be doing a trail ski walk on Saturday with a few Team Relays mixed-in.
Be sure to bring a water belt and perhaps some snacks.
Please arrive by 9:15AM so that we can get Ski Walking by 9:30AM. Practice will run until 11:30AM
As for the rest of your week, here are some suggestions for other activities should you need them:
- Be active every day, get enough sleep and be sure to always eat healthily
- Running – Try for 20-30min. Start easy, but find some hills if you can!
- Cycling – Try for 45-60min, either on-road or off-road
- Fun at Recess – Play Basketball, Touch Football, Grounders, or just about anything that has you moving and jumping
- Strength Training – Try some of the exercises that we do at practice on your own. These can all be done either inside or outside and I would encourage everyone to try to do one additional Run/Strength session each week. Perhaps combine them with a run in your local park or forest!
- Be sure to keep working on your mobility either through stretching, yoga, pilates, etc. There are LOTS of great resources online
- We know that most of you are quite active between practices, just be sure you are doing something for 45-60min most every day.
