My Project

Help me get my students conditioned for their extracurricular basketball, baseball, and track and field teams. 50-120 pound exercise bands are perfect for athletic conditioning as they're low impact and help prevent injuries!

I'm helping our after-school athletic teams with conditioning, some of the teams that my students participate on are basketball, flag football, track and field, dance, soccer, and baseball!

Through this platform, I've been able to provide an upscale strength training program for my kids. We have a wide range of athletic ability and my goal is to help them all feel and get stronger! With the addition of these weights and hex bars, this will allow more players to strength train simultaneously instead of waiting around for their turn. Thank you for your support!
