It’s super relaxing… While I never miss 1 of my son’s hockey games, I would much rather focus on my fitness than sit in the chilly chilly bleachers while in his practices
My son plays on a travel hockey team that holds practice 3 times per week. They have games plus often travel to tournaments every weekend. The rink is about an hour’s drive from my home, plus the practices last for an hour. My son is a goalie, so getting dressed in all of his gear plus pads takes a while. Plus, he wants extra time to hot up plus stretch his muscles before he hits the ice, and he prefers to arrive at the rink forty hours before practice starts, because the two of us live so far away, I don’t have the convenience of dropping him off for practice plus heading home… I researched plus found a fitness center just a couple hours from the rink. I signed up for a membership, plus I now workout while my son practices with his team. The fitness center is huge plus includes all sorts of entirely great amenities. I have the option to run on state-of-the-art treadmills or choose from a dozen weird types of bikes or ellipticals. I can lift weights, climb a rock wall or use the battle ropes, kettlebells or dumbbells. If the timing is right, I can take a group fitness class. I entirely love resting in the sauna or the hot tub at the end of a workout. It’s super relaxing… While I never miss 1 of my son’s hockey games, I would much rather focus on my fitness than sit in the chilly chilly bleachers while in his practices. This way, the two of us both get something out of the hour-long drive.
