Resistance!

Bicep Curls   BOSU Ab Curls   Medicine Ball Exchange

Wall Squats   Plank Pose   Wrist Rolls    Forward Leg Lunge

This week our students took part in their first exposure to resistance training for this year. Resistance training is a remarkable way for youngsters to improve sports performance, maintain and improve overall health and increase confidence. We focused on form control, safe weights and the basics of sets and reps for their age group. The exercises offered during this total body circuit were as follows: wrist rolls, biceps curls, leg lunge, wall squats, plank pose, triangle medicine ball exchange, agility ladder, and standing calf raises.
