Pupil Lockdown Fitness Stories – Charlotte (S4)

I’ve always been active and thought lockdown was going to be really boring because a lot of the things that I would usually do to keep fit were cancelled however I think I’ve actually been even more active than usual.

Although we’ve been stuck at home I’ve been making sure to keep my fitness levels up. I am a flyer with Storm Evolution Allstars Cheer Team and we had just completed our first competition of the season when we were told to stay home. So although classes were cancelled our Coach very quickly set up virtual training and I train by using Zoom classes three nights a week. There are huge restrictions because Cheer is a team sport and we can’t meet up but we practice stretching and technique to work on our flexibility, conditioning to build strength and stamina and as a flyer I’m also required to do advance stretching and tumbling where we drill for back handspring, back tucks and pulling flyer positions.

In addition I have been following Chloe Ting’s high intensity working out programmes and challenges every day and doing Les Mill classes such as Body Combat, Barr, Body Balance and Sh’bam.

Like many others I was nominated to run 5km for the NHS 5,5,5 challenge which I was initially dreading but actually didn’t find it too bad once I started.
