HoltHappy 4th of July! Please remember that this week we will be taking a week off from open gym nights. Our next Open Gym will be Thursday, July 14. We hope to see all prospective cheerleaders that can attend there to continue to work on their strength, fitness, and cheer goals!
Our coaching staff talked to the athletes last week about the importance of hydration before, during and after workouts at our last open gym. As the summer wears on the heat and humidity usually intensifies, so it is important that all athletes take precautions to keep themselves fully hydrated to be able to work out and perform at their best despot the conditions. Water during the day is essential. Sometimes sports drinks can have a lot of sugar in them and cause athletes to feel sick after chugging them. If this is a problem, Pedialyte ( found in the infant care section of most grocery stores) may be solution. It contains much simpler sugar and is easily absorbed by the body as it is designed for small children with illnesses to prevent dehydration. I usually mix a solution of some Pedialyte in with my Gatorade. There are also some similar electrolyte substitutes out there that are sold by companies such as Advocare. Just sticking to water may be the best solution of them all. In any case it is very important that the athletes in any fall sport make sure they are getting plenty of fluids before workouts, are bringing something to drink during workouts, and are replenishing fluids after workouts. The Monday Motivation Workout is an Alphabet one this Week! You may choose to either spell out your name or spell out CENTRAL TIGERS. I am also adding a stretching routine for those of you working on your flexibility for jumps!Hold the stretches at least 15-20 sec per stretch to start. Hold the splits at least 30 seconds to start then increase time! Make sure you are working out in some way every day to be ready for season! Coach Holt
