CHEST BUMP to all those visiting the site, I really appreciate positivity!!!!! Here is another medicine ball core circuit that will have your abdominals on fire!!!! As a coach, strengthening your athletes cores is a must, if they do not have a STRONG core their movement patterns will become sloppy and less efficient with fatigue. These five exercises done consecutively will strengthen their core, making them more efficient movers on the basketball court!!!
MB Russian Twist 3×20
MB Toe Touch 3×20
MB Bench Twist 3×12 each side
MB Reverse Crunch 3×20
MB Finger Tips to Toes 3×20

Create a great day!!!! -Coach T

Plank Progressions…Increased Core Strength!!!!!

Time to get that core in shape and start kicking sand on people at the beach, strutting in your sungaaaaaa!!!! Start with the most basic and move your way to the more difficult planks. When performing these exercises remember proper alignment: Side Plank; core tight, elbow under shoulder, top shoulder back making a straight line to your top ankle, glutes engaged, scaps engaged. Middle Plank; elbows under shoulders, core tight, glutes engaged, back straight. Forceful breaths will help to emphasize the contraction of your core. Create a great day!!!! -Coach T
