Cardio Hoop
Hoop yourself healthy! Cardio Hoop is a
cardiovascular exercise that uses an adult sized
hula hoop (about 1.5 lbs.) to build balance,
strengthen core muscles, and tone the entire body.
Unlike traditional “hula hooping,” Cardio Hoop
uses the hoop on all parts of the body – waist,
hips, thighs, chest, neck, and arms. In addition
to physical benefits, Cardio Hoop reduces stress,
increases self-confidence, and generates joy and
laughter. You’ll get a great cardio workout as you

for relieving the stress that we acquire from our

the busy mind at the end of each class. Deb

Do you always seem to play better at practices

“psyching yourself up” for big competitions?
This workshop will provide young athletes with
the tools they need to help train their minds
as they do their bodies. The first week’s 4-hour
session is designed to focus specifically on the
relationship between emotion and performance,
and to help young athletes establish mental habits
for successful performance. The second week
will provide a variety of hands-on classroom
exercises that will allow athletes to gain a better
understanding of their mental fitness, and
gauge their overall sport attitude. Students will
leave the workshop with the skills they need to
continuously uncover, discover and challenge
their performance assumptions, as well as a set of
effective ways to manage the destructive negative
self-talk that keeps athletes from performing to
their potential. Grades 9-12.
