The Ball that Just Won't Die

Check out this article from ESPN online about the popularity of medicine balls...

My clients can attest to the strength and agility gained by working out with medicine balls. A tool that's been around for thousands of years must have something going for it!

Working hard in the A.M.!

Look at these ladies sweat! Here they are working med ball cleans, curls to overhead, windmills and woodchops. 20 seonds on, 10 seconds to rotate. And a run in between each set. Summer is here and the heat is on. Good job ladies!

Powerful Throws

Laurice gets her whole body into this overhead throw to Leslye at our bootcamp this morning. After a series of rotations and chest passes, the group worked through overhead passes, engaging their core during every movement, though in a different way. A perfect set of exercises to increase functional fitness. Way to go ladies!

Medicine Ball Work!

The ladies really got working with the med balls this week, working on their core strength and total body functionality. Way to go Delanie!

Spring is almost over and the heat is coming on! It's getting lighter earlier, too, these days, so our pictures are coming out better and you can see the beautiful scenery within which we workout. Who knew Anderson High School had such beautiful trees?!

Introducing...the white board!

The ladies at Anderson High really seem to like the addition of the white board to their bootcamp. It adds an element of competition and also helps the women keep track of their progress. Most importantly, it acts as a encourager--these women cheer each other on to get faster, stronger and in the fittest shape of thie lives!

Spring is Here! (I think...)

Or is this what Spring is in Texas?...I forget. It sure has been windy and wet lately, though not wet enough. Mats are blowing away during class, and sometimes that run around the parking lot is that much tougher when you're facing a gale force wind. But, perhaps April will be kinder and gentler--a little more warm, predictable weather would be nice for once. Bring it on, April!
