Exercise can (and should) be lots of fun. Check in here for new challenges every week that you can do at home.
You'll find all kinds of ways to keep active and get stronger - because the stronger you are, the better your gymnastics will be.
Let me know if you complete the challenge and we will post your name to the board!

My name is Jen, and this is my 18th summer at camp as a counselor! I'm very excited to help all of you get stronger - I LOVE to condition! When I'm not at camp, I work at Virginia Tech, teaching neuroscience and doing all kinds of lab research. I hope you're all finding ways to stay fit and in shape while you're safe at home - and following some of these workouts will be a lot of fun! I hope you all have an amazing summer, and I can't wait to see you all at camp next summer in 2021!

Let a parent know that you're doing a workout - you want to make sure someone can check to make sure you're doing okay during/after you exercise. Plus, you might end up making some noise, so it's just polite to let your family members know what to expect!
Always make sure you're dressed appropriately to exercise (nothing too loose, no jewelrey, hair pulled back).
Find a safe SPACE - if you're inside, make sure you're not going to accidentally run in to any furniture (or pets or baby siblings!). You need to have plenty of room. Be careful if you're on a slippery floor. If you're outside, be VERY CAREFUL of cars - do not exercise in the driveway, and only use a garage if there's no chance (0%) of someone driving in.
NEVER do an exercise that hurts - if something doesn't feel right, stop immediately and let someone (a parent) know right away.
Start slow and build up to doing more - many of you aren't able to workout at your gyms right now, so it may have been a while since you did conditioning - doing too much at once can lead to injuries if you get tired and have poor form. And you'll also be too sore to keep conditioning tomorrow! So take it slow.
Always make sure you have water available to stay hydrated, and make sure you're taking care of yourself by eating nutritious snacks and healthy meals.
