Fitness Fun
Part of the ethos at LVS Hassocks is to help students understand that by staying fit and healthy they will learn better and be able to, in the long term, be successful in the workplace. But for our growing young people exercise has to be an inspiring and something they can relate to in the real world after leaving school. So the physical training classes at the school have recently taken on more of a ‘gym fitness session’ feel.
A group of Vocational and Post 16 students have been enjoying circuit style sessions with Personal Trainer Jenny. The workouts have involved skipping, press-ups, ladder-runs and weights amongst other things.
They have been a great success encouraging some students to try out sessions at the local gym Billy Tommey said: “The exercises are making me stronger and help me get fit.”
Meanwhile ‘Wake-up and Shake-up’ sessions first thing in the morning, have done exactly that for the Secondary students.
These lively sessions are certainly fuelling energy for the day, whilst helping the youngsters to develop their balance and co-ordination alongside improving their fitness.
