Thermopylae conditioning commences at the beginning of each
year and generally occurs twice a week, until the Thermopylae race in June.
Training consists of 60-90 minutes of various circuit drills; the number of
participants varies depending on personal preference, or schedule conflicts.
A typical session may involve weights, skipping, activities
with tires (yes I said tires), crash mat exercises, cardio, and endurance, all
within a specified time allotment. Cool down consists of stretching and
discussions. Each sessions targets different muscle groups. Workouts throughout
the year get progressively more intense, but since your body is adapting and
strengthening, the workouts seem achievable. You start to notice definitions in
muscles you may not have noticed before, you gain confidence, you can rock your
Lulu’s!
I always found conditioning was a stress reliever
at the end of a hectic school day. Not only did it work my body, but also it
cleared my mind. You forge friendships with like-minded people in various
grades resulting in a stronger school community. One can never have enough
friends! Come out and join us next year, your Lulu’s will thank you!
