What a great week of practices as the Fall Colours begin to hit their peak.
Everyone enjoyed some warm fall weather and a rousing game of soccer-baseball (with Strength) on Tuesday.
Great work to everyone who attended Saturday's Roller Ski session. Sarah and I saw plenty of improvement in both technique and balance from everyone.
Keep up the great efforts this week!
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 cool and damp, so dress for the weather!
We will do a group "conversation-paced" run with Ski Poles on more new trails and finish with strength-soccer-baseball. There will be some NEW Strength exercises this week!
Practice will run until 7:00PM. Bring POLES!
Saturday – Pole Walking at MOUNT ST. LOUIS
We will align our practice with the Senior Team at Mount St. Louis. Please arrive by 9:20AM and park to the left of the Kids Camp Building in the large lot near the base of the Gentle Ben Lift - see map HERE.
We will be visiting both Summits a few more times for great views of the surrounding area. The weather is slated to be cool, but sunny, so dress accordingly.
We will be playing our favourite "LEGO MAN" game, so hone your visual memory and sprinting legs for this one!
Practice will wrap-up at 11:30AM as usual. Bring POLES!
Roller Skiing
If any Jr. Skier wanted to borrow a set of Skate Roller Skis to ski on their own on Sunday, please let us know!
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.
