Win or lose, members of the
Texas A&M football team will be
out at Kyle Field working out on
Sundays. But they’re not practic
ing plays, they’re practicing
dance steps.
The Aggies have joined the
ranks of other teams, such as the
Dallas Cowboys, in using aerobics
as a form of athletic conditioning.
“Players like it and the constant
movement is good for rhythm
and change of balance,” said Bob
Ward, the conditioning coach for
the Cowboys. “I recommend
dance exercise for everyone.”
The aerobics program was
brought to A&M two years ago by
Bert Hill, the strength and condi
tioning coach for the Aggies.
The Waist Basket, a local aero
bics studio, provides the instruc
tors for the Sunday workouts.
Hill said, “The purpose of the
aerobics is to warm up and stretch
the soreness out of the players the
day after the game.”
A&M noseguard Sammy
O’Brient said, “It’s a little silly and
we all joke around, but it’s a good
way to stretch after a hard game
and get ready for Monday practi
ce.”
Holly Scifres, one of the aero
bics instructors, said, “The play
ers joked around because they
were embarrassed about not get
ting the steps right. Some players
tried really hard and others just
stood around in the back, but the
high point was when a few of
them broke out into disco steps
when they couldn’t follow.”
Aggie offensive lineman
Randy Dausin said he considers
the exercises worthwhile — not
feminine.
“It’s a change of pace from the
pressure of the coaches,” Dausin
said.
The A&M coaches said they
changed the Sunday workout to
aerobics because the original pro
gram of running and lilting
weights was not benefiting the
players because they were tired
ana sore after Saturday’s gdme.
A&M Head Coach Jackie Sher
rill said the players that play Sat
urday are put through the aero
bics program to increase their
flexibility and help the cardiovas
cular system.
Hill said, “Flexibility is a tool to
help prevent injuries. You can be
strong and move a house, but if
you get injured on the field you
are not going to help anybody.”
Hecklers from the group
brought some added humor to
Sunday’s workout as they tried to
follow the sequence of steps given
to them by the instructors.
Hill asked the instructors to
train the players using the Waist
Basket’s studio exercise program.
The Sunday workout consisted of
20 minutes of running and 10
minutes of abdominal and upper
body exercises. Scifres brought
great moans and groans from the
players as they were urged to
count out loud during push-ups.
“We had a hard time getting
them to follow us, but we had a
f ood time and hope they will
eep it up after football season,”
Scifres said.
The coaches do not have any
plans for an aerobics program af
ter football season, but some play
ers said they would like to con
tinue it.
In Dallas, a few of the Cowboys
work out at health clubs on their
own time, the team conditioning
coach said. Ward also said the
Cowboys have a new facility to
work in and hope to have an or
ganized aerobics program next
year.
O’Brient, said he would not
keep it up in the spring, but some
of the other players probably
would.
Despite the laughing and jok
ing around, the players broke
into a sweat and had a good work
out.
Sherrill said, “It doesn’t matter
if the players think it’s silly, it’s
part of our program and it’s for
the best interest of them.”
