Foothills Gymnastics Academy is now offering a new class for boys, “Boys, strength and conditioning training.”
This class is designed for boys to gain speed and endurance to help them excel at all sports.
They do strength training by climbing ropes, pull ups on the uneven parallel bars and spider man walks as examples of a few exercises they do.
They work on conditioning on the tumble track, as well as playing various games aimed at improving speed. Organizers said the class helps boys gain flexibility, stamina, and improving their balance.
A few spots are still available and classes are held Wednesdays from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. and will run the entire school year.
Call 828-859-5151 for more information.
