Training Grounds

With gyms closed due to the pandemic, these BC athletes found creative ways to keep fit at home over the summer.

Softball player Kennedy Labshere ’22 amps up her lunges with dumbbells and a bench on her San Diego patio. “Fortunately, I have a household full of new workout partners who make quarantine fitness as fun as possible,” she said, adding, “I miss my beloved Conte Forum.”
Basketball guard Sydney Lowery ’21 works out in her bedroom in Shelton, Connecticut. "This virus has made me realize how fortunate we all are to have the equipment that we take for granted,” she said. Lowery balanced her fitness regimen with caring for her parents, who both contracted COVID-19.
Hockey forward Logan Hutsko ’21 performs flexibility-boosting moves on a quiet street in Longboat Key, Florida. “Coronavirus has forced me to find new ways to train and improve myself without using weights,” he said.
Basketball forward Taylor Soule ’22 uses a cement block for weighted squats in her yard in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. “I had to be creative—milk cartons, door frames, and suitcases make great weights,” she said.
Softball player Jenna Ergle ’21 uses a resistance band for exercises at home in Sumiton, Alabama. “A positive of the quarantine was that I was able to be more creative in my workouts and find ways to stay active in the house and in my area,” said Ergle, who frequented her high school’s football field for batting practice.
