Training Tips
Warm-Up
Before you begin your workout, make sure you warm-up for at least 3 minutes. You can either stretch your legs and body, or you can slowly jog. A slow, steady warm-up helps to prevent injuries.
Good Pace
Make sure you workout at a good pace, which should be a walk/jog/run that you could continue for at least 15 minutes. To know if you have a good pace, you should be able to talk with someone during your workout. If you are out of breath, you should slow down. If you can easily talk with someone during the workout, then you should go faster.
Cool Down
It is very important to cool down after your workout so your body won’t be sore. You should slowly walk or jog for 3 minutes after your workout, and then stretch your muscles. Hold each stretch for 20-30 seconds and make sure not to bounce when you stretch.
Hydration
To decrease injury, heat exhaustion, and dehydration, you need to make sure to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workout. Water is the best thing to drink, but anything non-carbonated will help you stay hydrated.
Nutrition
Eating healthy foods will help you succeed in the School Rock Challenge. Start your day off right with a good breakfast to give you plenty of energy for the day. For snacks, choose fruits or vegetables, and limit candy, cookies, soda and chips.
