Welcome back. TIme for greatness!

Welcome back to a great year of Thermopylae training.  This year looks to be the biggest, and best, ever!

Training will run twice a week with multiple training programs loaded to this platform each week.  There will also be two, or more, student run sections, as well as multiple "pro" sections from great role models from within the world of fitness.

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!

Jess' Fitness Corner - Stair Work, Agility, Core Strength and Sprint Intervals - July 10/16

Jess' Fitness Corner
 Stair Toe Touches
- Balls of feet only make contact, use your arms in a power motion to help drive your knees up and forward.



Inch Worm Hill Walk Up
- Start in a standing, body folded, position.  Walk hands out and up hill until you are in a plank position.  Hold the plank for a ten count and then walk feet up to your hands until you return to your body fold position.  Repeat, continuing up hill.


Push Up to Mountain Climber with a hill sprint
- Complete 10-20 standard pushups on an incline, or decline.  Then complete 40-60 mountain climbers (where you hold a plank position and drive your knees in an alternating fashion to your chest).  Once completed, do a hill sprint, return to your original location and repeat 5 times.
