If you have ever spent more that 5 minutes with me, it is fairly obvious that I love fitness. I have learned so much (sometimes the hard way) in the 30 years that I have been teaching. What better way to share my passion than to start a blog and pass on the information that I share with clients on a day-to-day basis.
Here is the next video I promised. If you are checking my blog for the first time, please scroll down and learn about this fun metabolic workout. Big calorie burn in a short amount of time. Today's video is on basketball drills. You can use a non-weighted ball as shown in the video or for more fun, you can use a weighted ball or kettle bell.
Basketball
1. Shuffle side 4 times/Figure 8 with ball
2. Figure 8 with ball doing flying lunges
3. R/T Shuffles side to side on command
REPEAT 3 times

Bill Bowerman from Nike said, "If you have a body, you are an athlete." That means that anyone can do this workout and you don't even need to have high school, college or professional experience to do it. All you need is a body and someone to push you. I picked 6 sports but the possibilities are endless. The outline for this high intensity interval workout is:
3 rounds per sport, 3 exercises per round, each exercise is 25 seconds long with a 5 second rest, repeat rounds 3 times. Each round is 1.5 minutes long, 3 rounds makes each sport 4.5 minutes long. 30 seconds rest in between sports
RF = Rapid Fire (Perform Quickly)
R/T = Reaction Training (You have to react to cues on demand)

1. Push 25-35 lb weight across floor
2. Run High Knees in place
3. R/T Quick feet-Hips turn over and back on cue
