As we head into the holidays the next few weeks are important and we can't forget about exercising. The last thing you want to do is to pack on a few extra lb's during Thanksgiving, Christmas. & New Years! Let's face it, you want to have a good time but this is the most important time in our training. If you're a college player this is your tune up before you go back to school and start your preseason conditioning with your teammates. If you're a HS player you want to get your body ready to start going hard after the holidays before your season starts (usually early to mid March).
It's key to continue with your lifting regiment but most importantly don't forget the cardio. Depending where you are outside running can be pleasant or it can be simply painful because of the elements. Getting outside on the road though is important and you should shoot for at least one if not two days a week; 2-4 miles. Set a goal for your time and work hard at hitting it. If you have access to an indoor facility there are other things you can do for conditioning; jumping rope (2 minutes straight, 30 seconds rest-3 sets), slide board (@ some gyms, same as rope), 6o yard shuttles (cones set @ 5, 10, 15 yards-down, back 3x), riding a bike (20-30 mins) & much more.
Conditioning is key for lax players, being able to run for 60 minutes but also being able to make quick, explosive movements & recover quickly. If you want more tips on conditioning & workouts, check out the guidance office @ lax-school.com.
If you want results you got to work hard!
