Owls were learning some exercises today with Jason at Enzo Athletics in North Platte. Jason said clients come in and receive personal training to learn the importance of exercising and to do the exercises correctly to prevent injuries. He said they want people to enjoy exercising. The students did planks, worked on the rings, did push ups and lunges. They had fun and worked hard. Thank you Jason!
