DCM Gym

Coming August 2013!

Ready, set, sweat!

Challenge yourself to higher performance levels in the DCM Gym, where the focus is on the anatomy and physiology of athletic performance.

Find out what gets your heart pumping as you try some new and old-favorite physical feats and discover how exercise and training benefit athletes of all ages and skill levels.

Work around the "circuit" in the DCM Gym and hit all these interval stations:

Aerobic Exercise

Roll a die to pick an aerobic activity, and do it continuously for 15 or 30 seconds. Keep going! Roll again for another activity, and do that for 15 or 30 seconds. Keep going! Roll again, and keep going until you've done all the activites on the die.

Agility

Follow the feet pasted on the floor as you jump through the agility ladder.

Balance

Use the balance steppers to take a little walk. Go forward. Try going backward. Can you weave through the cones?

Endurance

Grap a jump rope and skip for 30 seconds. Can you do it? How about for a minute?

Flexibility

Bend over backwards in a limbo move. How low can you go?

Hand-Eye Coordination

Shoot the ball into the net from different spots on the floor.

Motor Skills

Play toss-and-catch with a partner and a beanbag. Try clapping, spinning, and touching your toes before you catch a toss.

Speed

Grab a beanbag, dash to the goal, drop it in, and go back for another. How many can you sink in 30 seconds?

Strength

Stand at the line and use your leg muscles to jump as far as you can on the mat. How'd you do?
