Sports Booster Special Projects
High School Weight Room
The Hoopeston Area Middle & High Schools have a new weight room thanks to the efforts of the Hoopeston Area Sports Booster Club. The Sports Boosters have spent around $30,000 the past five years to update & move the weight room out of the high school gym into two rooms near the middle school gym.
The new weight room has a "Cardio Room" with 4 stationery bikes, an elliptical machine and jump boxes to help increase your heat rate. The "Weight Room" has all the different types of machines needed to get a good workout. The room is designed with free weights on one side of the room and machines on the other. The weight room also houses the school's athletic trainers's office. Some of the equipment purchased by the Sports Booster Club has been 2 lifting platforms, 2 bikes, 2 squat racks, lat pull down machine, Pec Dec, cable crossover benches and protective rubberized flooring.
The Hoopeston Area athletes use the Bigger, Faster Stronger workout program. This is a program designed to incorporate six different lifts to increase the core strength of the athletes and to specifically target the explosiveness to the upper and lower body. The physical education students in both the Middle & High School use the new facilities twice a week. The physical education classes concentrate on general fitness through strength training with progressive resistance and on cardio-vascular strength and endurance through the use of the bikes & elliptical runner. The athletic trainer is also better able to utilize all the weights and cardio equipment to enhance the rehabilitation of injured athletes.
All the students, athletes and the staff would like to thank the Hoopeston Area Sports Booster Club for providing them with this new first class facility.
