Raining Medicine Balls

It was raining cats and dogs outside so we ended up stuck inside with the workers fabricating the stage for a concert(?).

I threw a weird one at them today. Moving medicine balls back and forth over an imaginary volleyball net. Lots of squatting and throwing and sweating was had by all...

After the warm up, we played around with handstands since the mats were out on the gym floor.


Everyone had to get the rotation down from catcher to thrower and back again...


Here Regina demonstrates some little used areas of fitness, namely accuracy, agility, balance and coordination. How often does your workout hit those areas...???


Squatting...


and throwing... are all functional movements that will translate perfectly to everyday activities...


Newcomer Cooper got a lot of personal attention to get his squat technique ironed out. Proper parallel squats require above average hip flexibility and a movement pattern that can be challenging for some people. Cooper worked hard, and sweated up a storm and was rewarded with a drastically improved squat in just one workout. Great job Cooper!!!
