Simple Indoor Running Exercise


 Hey guys, since it's getting colder out there I think it’s time to go to an indoor track.
-As always, 5 laps of jogging to warm up and get lose.
-After the 5 laps, stretch out your legs and thighs, and then jog one more lap at a quicker pace (not a sprint).
The workout today is simple, just ten jogging laps followed by two sprint laps.
-the reason for doing ten laps of jogging is to build up endurance and stamina. Also, the two sprint laps afterwards builds up your running speed even after your body starts to get tired.
This workout is simple, but very effective in increasing your overall top speed and stamina.

-After you stretch your body out, get plenty of fluids, it’s now time to do a cool down lap, or just walk once around the lap.

Sprint Drills

Hey guys, this week I will talk about doing some sprint drills.
-First, stretch out your legs and hamstrings, you can do this by getting down on the ground and reaching for the tip of your sneakers, another way is to have a partner push your legs towards you and hold that position for about 10 seconds.
- Now as usual, jog 5 times around the track to get loose and warmed up.
- after the 5th lap, this time instead of stopping, do a fairly quick lap around the track, this will warm you up and get your heart beating pretty good.
-Now it’s time to get into the workout, today we are doing 5 100 yard sprints, with a 30-50 second break in-between each. Now a sprint is running fast, unlike jogging, run at about 80-85%, this is pretty fast pace so you will be pretty tired after this.
- After a 1 minute break, now we are going to do 5 40 yard sprints, this time with no breaks in-between each. Also, instead of walking back to the 40 yard line on the football field, do u slow jog back, then when you get there sprint back to the goal line.
- After you complete this, get some water and stretch those sore legs and hamstrings, you should be fairly tired by now, catch your breath and get ready for the last part of the workout.
- The last stage of this work out a final 100 yard dash/sprint.
-this time, instead of going fairly fast, we are going all out, 100%. This is the last workout for today, after you get your breath, return to the track and finish by doing 5 laps jogging. Same thing you did when you started.

Basketball drills and workout video

Hey guys, instead of talking about my daily running workouts, ive decided to go into another sport of mine, basketball.
This simple workout consits of mid range jumpshots, dribbling drills, explosive drills(dunking drills), and situation drills.
In this workout is a few of my favorite players in the N.B.A, Derrick rose(Chicago Bulls), Tyreke Evans(Sacramento Kings), and O.J Mayo(Memphis Grizzlies).
In this workout, the three of them work on their ball handling, shooting, vertical jumping, and being able to withstand contact. basketball drills

analzsis of Vernon Davis (San Franciso 49'ers) summer workout

http://youtu.be/jsrcYca9-hM
Hey guys, since my blogs are all about workouts, I’ve decided to share this video of one of my favorite N.F.L players, Vernon Davis working out during this summer. This workout shows Vernon Davis working on his speed, power, acceleration and stamina. I claim that if young men (ages 16-25) did this workout, they will see dramatic results in their athleticism and physique. This simple workout can be done by any male no matter what level they are in, whether high school, college or the N.F.L, well, minus the amount of weights Vernon Davis had on the bench press.
The running drills consisted of sledges, and running basic routes, these drills are preparing Vernon Davis for the upcoming season by making him faster, quicker and more agile. He does multiple sets of each drill with a short rest break in between (30-60 seconds).
The final part of the Vernon Davis workout dealt with the upper body, bench pressing, and band pulls. This is getting him ready for to fight through the many hits he will receive during the upcoming season. Working out his arms and chest is very important to insure both ball security and injury prevention during the 16 game season.
Doing this workout will increase anybody’s ability to become a better athlete no matter if you’re in high school or even the N.F.L.
