Jess' Fitness Corner - Jess' Bio - July 10/16
Hello,
I am Jessica and I will be sharing my fitness journey with you. Some of
my exercises and workouts have been posted below and they are just a
preview of what else is to come. So, a little about me is that I am a
fourteen year old girl who sees the importance of living a healthy
lifestyle through fitness and diet. I want to show that you can find a
way to exercise and eat healthy wherever you go, with out costing you a
fortune. You don't need to get a gym membership or buy expensive gym
equipment.
I
also want to show that fast food doesn't need to be fatty or junk
foods. I will be posting a warm up, workout, and a cool down from
various locations all over North America. I will also have recipes,
tips, and eating plans that will help to improve your fitness level and
your quality of life.
Another
cool component of my active photo series will feature flexibility. I
used to be on a gymnastics team, so I know the correct form and ways to
increase your flexibility. That includes stretches you can do, how to
get in and out of them, different poses, a yoga aspect, as well as
workouts and stretches that can help in a variety of sports.
My
main focus will be on Thermopylae for everyone who will be competing
next year. There will be a full body portion as well as a running series
to keep you prepared for the upcoming games and race. There will be
many tips on how to improve your stride, speed and endurance.
So keep checking in to remain healthy and improve upon your fitness and well being!
