Conditioning Training Review - Reagan - July 2015

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!
