Special Thanks to Personal Trainer Linda Lardino-Semko
for presenting and demonstrating various
Functional Strength Training exercises during our JUNE SOCIAL!
She went over many exercises we can perform to
help make us stronger and fitter for racing. We had
a nice turnout of about 13 athletes for the demonstration, with
about 9 of us doing the exercises.
Linda discussed what we could do in a quick 30 minutes
that would target using our entire body and strengthen our core.
Many of the exercises included things we could do at home
such as using dumb bells, tubing, fit balls, own body weight and
bosu ball or unstable surfaces. She also handed out
coupons for a free spin class and discounts on Body Fat
testing to all participants. She plans on
getting us handouts of the exercises as well as some articles to
help us incorporate what we learned into our own training.
After the presentation and workout....Many of us headed out to
dinner immediately afterwards and had a great time socializing!
Next social will be sometime in August!
