Overview

This blog has been put together due to several requests for ideas on how to train or prepare for the Warrior Challenge.  Beginning this Sunday, Feb. 2, I will start posting a work out that you can do in the comfort of your own home, and I will do my best to continue posting work outs each night.  The Warrior Challenge is more of a conditioning event, so most of the work outs I will be sending are built around strengthening your overall endurance and cardiovascular system.  If you would like me to incorporate weight training, I can also provide some ideas in that area as well.

Remember, I am just an 8th grade English teacher, I am in no way, shape or form a fitness expert, and the work outs I am passing on to you are just ideas.  You can modify them to fit your fitness level and incorporate more sets if you feel your body is ready.  Understand what you are able to do and do not push yourself past that limit too soon, otherwise, you may hurt yourself and jeopardize future involvement in any physical activity.

If you have work out ideas, please share those on this blog for other students to see.  If you are unsure how to do a work out posted, never hesitate to ask for a demonstration.

Stay healthy, eat well, and take care of your body.  There is nothing more important to you than being able to live a long, healthy life, which will allow you so much more success and opportunity than you can imagine.

Best wishes to you
