Well, gym is shut down but that doesn’t stop you from keeping in top form!! Virtual workouts start today...like they were last summer. @payton_morningstar is first, then some young girls before virtual workouts for the boxing club. Not ideal, but fun nonetheless .

New Year, a New Exercise.....That You Can Do At Home!!

Here’s the Exercise of the Week for the first week of the new year!! This is one that will really help those who wish to do push-ups, but can’t seems to make any progress. We should know now that the eccentric motion of any exercise is generally easier. In the push up it is the motion when you’re going down that is eccentric and easier. So you may be able to lower yourself....then put your knees down for some assistance with the concentric action. Try to maintain form, keep the back straight and core tight. Give them@a try if you struggle with push-ups!! #pushup #modifiedpushups #eccentricpushups #exercise

Everyone training hard yesterday with the first training session of the New Year!! It was a busy day at the gym....or should I say virtually, LOL. Mr. Morningstar was training hard working his way back to the motocross season, the young girls trained very well working on basic movements, the young boys worked on getting stronger and faster, the ladies came out for a great boxing workout, and then a few boxers were out of the later class. I managed to see some sweat through the computer screen

Another girl I used to coach at @athleticsniagara. @mollykoop_ is now in university playing field hockey and looking to build strength and speed. She was in the sprint group so she had a good start, but never really had the training on change of direction and deceleration. She came to the right place!! #athletes #fieldhockey #deceleration #changeofdirection

The boxers had a solid last day in the gym before lockdown!! #boxingtraining #boxingworkout #boxers @sayde.lanthier @odoglanthier18 @lucasgrottola @haidynmcburney @troy_nagy

Who's in? It starts tomorrow with the elementary girls and junior/intermediate boys. This was from last summer during shut down. #virtualtraining #youthtraining

There’s Virtual Training starting up next week!! Are you an athlete? Is your son/daughter an athlete? How are staying in condition during this shutdown?

This is motocross racer @payton_morningstar working on a bit of stability, stiffness and tightness. You might not be able to tell in the video, but I know he felt the difference of when kept everything stiff and tight, compared to when he didn’t. He has really noticed the difference on the bike!! During a race, He is able to keep his muscles engaged and ready, not loose and relaxed. #motocross #laptime #stabilitytraining #stiffness

Think these hockey players will make good boxers? #boxingtraining #hockeyboxing #handsup #weighttransfer #punchingcombinations

The exercise of the week. Yep, it’s a good, old fashioned push-up. And a couple variations....all with no equipment. This is an exercise that’s great for the time we’re in! #pushup #corestrength #stabilitytraining #strengthtraining #noequipmentneeded

@willmsy7 @matt.vanderzalm @joshdags @dewwman getting some work in early yesterday morning. The former #notlthunderhawks are always working hard!! #stillathletes #alwaysathletes #stregth #strongerfasterbetter

Here’s @payton_morningstar the other day. A few different methods and the same goal. Power development, Static holds and controlled movements combined with stability and grip strength make for a finally tuned #motocross racer!! #gripstrength #shoulderstability #isometric #stabilitytraining
