I m a well-motivated individual and keep my workouts intense. Jeremy Hardy, a senior track and field athlete at Craigmont High School, looks at off-season conditioning as being an important step to take as well. Jeremy trains three times weekly at the YMCA and tries to encourage others to do the same. Each workout session with a personal trainer is an hour to an hour and a half long. Even though the age requirement to join a spa is18, parents can still sign their child up for training.
Most personal trainers recommend high school athletes train three to four times weekly.
A typical workout for the track athlete would be the treadmill, exercise bike and light aerobics. For the football and basketball players, it s strictly cardiovascular and free weights. This process of bettering yourself is something both Jeremy and Chris believe in. Both said they will definitely continue their training when their season of track starts. This type of training alone helps an athlete to become focused and work on concentration.
