Week of Oct 9th - Climb Every Mountain!

   



We certainly lucked out for the weather this week!  Warm on Tuesday and we missed the rain on Saturday!

We will continue to build on the progress we've made in our exercises and our endurance this week.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tuesday - More Strength and Fun at Hardwood

Please meet at The Palace at 5:20PM so we can get moving by 5:30PM.  Temperatures look to be cool with the possibility of showers, so come prepared

We will do a group "conversation-paced" run, but introduce skate bounding and then finish off with soccer-baseball.  There will be some more new Strength exercises this week!

Practice will run until 7:00PM.

Saturday – Pole Walking at Hardwood- UPDATED

We will again be aligning our practice with the Senior Team at Hardwood - UPDATED this week.  Please arrive by 9:20AM and park by The Palace

We will be doing a combination of Ski Walking and Ski Bounding as well as some "Fun" relay events.

Practice will wrap up at 11:30AM as usual.  Bring POLES!

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 healthy
  • 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.
