My neighbor has a daughter who has started to show interest in lifting. She is going into high school next year and looking to join the cross country team as well as do pole vaulting.

He has started bringing her with him to the gym but doesn't know where the line is between pushing her too hard so she doesn't get hurt and what workouts will benefit her the most when it comes to the above sports.

Any suggestions for programs or workouts that could ease her into starting to work out?

Thanks

Atlanta United's star striker Josef Martinez suffered an apparent arm injury in training on Wednesday.

The MLS club told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that it was too early to tell the extent of the problem, after the newspaper reported Martinez collided with a teammate near the end of the practice session.

Have they always had this? And does it have to be a certain temp for the rule to go into effect? Also, how many per game?

Therefore, to assess the risk of playing, FIFA measures not only the air temperature but what is called the “Wet Bulb Globe Temperature” (WBGT). At FIFA matches, additional cooling breaks are considered when WBGT is above 32°C.

In other words, if the WGBT — which takes into account temperature, humidity, wind speed and sunlight — calculates the temperature as being higher than 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit, teams will be required to take a water break at the first natural stoppage after the 30th and 75th minutes in international play.

Is 24 hour in the Southeast??? Thought they skipped all the SE states?

I think he meant .. any.. 24 hour type gym chain. anytime, snap, etc

Anytime has a deal for those who have Blue Cross health insurance, where the dues are $25 per month. It is through a 3rd party arrangement with Fitness Your Way.

The deal isn't just for Anytime. I use the Healthways, "Fitness Your Way" program. I am currently a "member" of a Gold's, Anytime, LA Fitness, and Q4 Fitness. The program covers 9400 gyms across the country. There are certain Snap Gyms that participate as well, but none close enough by for me to justify signing up.

I would check with your insurance company to see if they offer these programs and sign up if you can. The cost is typically $25 for the first month, with a $25 enrollment fee. When you sign up, you are committing to a 3 month enrollment, after that, it's month to month. Usually, every other month, they run a special where they waive the enrollment fee.

Edit: Just looked, the Fitness and Beyond Health Club is in the program, which seems to be somewhat close to downtown Broussard

Don't have any positive recommendations, but I can say to avoid the City Mini by Baby Jogger, I've taken it out on a run or two and it seems to make me lean forward to much, if I try and run vertical, my feet kick the basket underneath it. If you have a BuyBuyBaby near you, they are really flexible about trying things out, I would head in there to see what they have and what you like. Also, if you get those random Bed Bath and Beyond coupons in the mail, BuyBuyBaby is part of that company and they will accept the coupons.

I'm out of the Atlanta area...I'm sure there are ways to stream I'll try in the future.

Check out Facebook. I've caught a few of the games there, although the "announcers" are horrid. They banter about anything that pops into their heads.

Has a couple of good series, really enjoyed watching the Advanced Training Techniques. Broke out each muscle group in to two or three videos. The first just an intro into how the muscle works in the "chain", what each muscle does, then the second video is just a complete workout, going through each exercise.

Yup top four is in our hands now being one point behind City

The extra day rest, plus them playing an extra 30 minutes is going to help out quite a bit as well.
