Middle School Resistance Training Program (January 19, 2012)
Jack Young Middle School students have been provided an opportunity to participate in a resistance training program after school. Boys and girls in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade have the chance to utilize the weight room at the middle school for an hour after school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students started the lifting program shortly after the winter break and will be able to lift until spring break. One of goals for this program is to provide students with the opportunity to stay active and learn how resistance training can be a great way to increase their fitness. Students learn about different muscle groups and a number of ways for them to experience safe lifting techniques for each exercise. This will help students understand how they can create safe workout routines for their fitness future using free weights, machine weights, and weight baring exercises in a structured environment.
