Variety isn’t just the spice of life, it keeps workouts interesting too – and that’s exactly what local students participating in the Cavs’ Fit as a Pro initiative - presented by Medical Mutual and Giant Eagle and in association with Musselman’s Apple Sauce - have been learning about this month.
Research shows that mixing up exercise routines has many physical and mental benefits, and on Monday one lucky sixth grade class from Communion of Saints Catholic School in Cleveland Heights had the chance to see that for themselves.
Check out some snapshots from the event.
For all your Cavs in the Community news.
The Cavs hosted the students at Cleveland Clinic Courts on Monday for a fun, interactive workout.
Cavs Performance Specialist Derek Millender demonstrated a variety of upper and lower body exercises. The youngsters practiced the movements themselves, as well as utilized them during a relay. Moondog was also there to lend a helping hand.
