What fitness club is all about
Middle-school athletes do not have to concentrate on strength development as intensely as they do on lifting technique. The strength will come with physical maturity. The most important thing to teach is the proper lifting techniques. That is the way to avoid the injury and prepare the athletes for the workouts. We usually work out twice a week, using the same basic workout each day (emphasizing technique rather than poundage). Once the athlete exhibits his or her ability to do an exercise, they are allowed to add weight. A general rule of thumb is: "If the muscle is sore, that's O.K. If the joint is hurt, stop and reduce the weight." Students should add weight slowly and only if they can maintain the proper technique. Students will be taught to perform each exercise safely; focus will be on lifting techniques not weight.
