Wednesday Review


Wednesday Review


At our last motivational lunch, on Wednesday 02/22/12, we talked about the importance of the warm up and warm up routines, dynamic stretching, and static stretching that would be good for us.  We also discussed core strength exercises and about a few videos, created by Coach Jay Johnson from CU Boulder.  Below is an outline and review, including the links to Coach Jay Johnson videos and blog site.
