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!

We have a wide range of athletic abilities and my goal is to help them all feel and get stronger! Having a set of squat racks and barbells are perfect for my team players and will help my kids get ready for their athletic competitions.
