The Country School has enacted a new fun and unique approach to exercising this fall. With a varied program and strong encouragement, Cougar Fit has truly changed how the kids look at physical training. It is a new program that not only emphasizes warm up and fitness, but injury prevention as well. Special attention is paid to building upper body strength, as kids these days are much weaker in their upper bodies than generations prior, due to all the time inside and not enough free play. Specialized equipment has been purchased to enhance the program, like abdominal mats, pull up bands and weight bars. Cougar Seals Training has also been introduced to third and fourth graders. This workout creates group cohesion, as all participants in a squad must finish various physical tasks or missions, together, prior to moving on to the next one.  More
