Hey Tiger Fans!

This week, we are looking forward to another productive week in the gym! We are pushing hard for the next few weeks before we get a small break for thanksgiving. After two high weeks of conditioning and training, we are now having a week to let our bodies recover. This week will be more focused on the details, for example hitting our handstands on bars and sticking our dismounts on bars and beam. On floor, we have traded out the soft mat over the resi for a hard one. This will help us prepare for hard landings on the floor.

Also, we got new conditioning this week in the gym. Although the new exercises are more challenging, in the long run it is going to make us stronger and better! This is the best we have ever looked this early in the season, so I am excited to see what the season brings for us!

Outside of the gym, we all had a fun weekend getting dressed up for Halloween. We had a wide range of costumes, from schoolgirls to ninjas. My personal favorite costume on our team belonged to Brittany: a hot pink crayon. It was very creative and cute!

Well, that's all for this week. Don't forget to come to our Black and Gold Meet on December 11, and keep checking in for more updates!

GO TIGERS!
