Prompt 2

Being a goaltender is always a difficult balance. You need to build up enough muscle to be able to move quickly and hold your own in the goal, while also being lean enough to be able to react quickly and instinctively while in net. For Jon St. Ark, it is a balance of light weight exercise coupled with endurance training. Playing goal for a full 60 minutes is an exhausting prospect. Unlike every other person on the ice, you can’t skate over to the beach after a minute and catch a quick breather. So Jon balances his days between weight work in the weight room, endurance training on an exercise bike, and then a metric ton of yoga of varying difficulties. Nothing strikes a balance between training the body and the mind to operate in sync quite like yoga, so Jon has become a big fan as he has been in the league for longer and longer.
