T2 At Home Workouts *Read This First*

Hello T2 Age Group Team! (Intro/AGD/AGP)

We are going to post some workouts on this site for our Age Group Athletes (Intro/AGD/AGP) to enjoy.  We will have some dryland workouts that you can do at home as well as some swim workouts that you can do at a pool (if you have access to one).

We will be updating this blog daily with new workouts for athletes to do.  Some things may have to be modified for ages and abilities but the goal is to get everyone up and moving outside!  Remember to stay safe (stay on sidewalks or front/back yards, wear helmets if biking, look before you cross streets and all of that good stuff!)

"Obstacles don't have to stop you.  If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.  Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."  -Michael Jordan (6 Time NBA Champion)

Format:

• Each Day we will post a Dryland type workout.  There will be no/limited equipment required.  A jump rope might be good if you have one or can get one.  More info on that below.
• Each Week we will post 3 Backyard Swim Workouts you might be itching to do in your own  pool.  
• Additional Running and Biking is also encouraged!  There are some good "Couch to 5K" podcasts available that will walk you through a running routine if you are not quite ready for a longer steady run.  Biking or Running can be done with a warm up, then a series of fast biking/running.  Maybe 30 seconds fast, 1 minute steady?  Or you can just go for distance or for a certain time.  Whatever gets you up and gets you moving!  We will post some Running and Biking interval workout ideas in the Weekly Workout post.

If you want to send in a picture for us to post up just send them to rachel@t2aquatics.com and she will try to post them up!  Let's see you in action and motivate your friends!
