Wauseon High School Athletics

For athletes of any sport being away from your teammates and coaches can be tough but its still necessary to practice the skills of your sport and keep in shape for the upcoming season. There are lots of workouts you can do at home to help acheive your goals. One fun idea is to challenge a teammate to a pushup contest. This keeps the workout interesting and competitive while pushing yourself to get stronger. Another great workout to do at home is a squat. Squat with just your body weight at 10 reps 3x. This is an excellent workout to strengthen the legs. Jumping jacks is a great way to get cardio right in your living room. There are lots of workouts to become more athletic and get stronger. Whatever you do just have fun.
