Five Top Exercises for Each Athlete
Athletes need exercises that promote cardiovascular health, agility, resistance, and strength. Whether in or out of season a regular exercise routine is essential for optimal physical performance and a quality of life.
The following is a list of exercises that you can use any athlete to keep in shape and achieve your physical goals. Unlike other exercise routines, these exercises can be made in any open space and require no special equipment or gym membership.
It bends (lower body)
Standing feet apart vertically with the shoulder width, bend at the knees to form an angle of 90 degrees between the calves and thighs. Bend your knees, slowly reaching your hands towards the front of the body to maintain balance. If necessary, this exercise can also be performed against a wall. Return to the starting position and repeat. If done correctly, it should appear as if the athlete is seated and standing on an invisible Chair.
Onslaught (lower body)
Standing upright, take a giant forward step with the right foot and planted firmly on the ground. Keeping the spine and the upper part of the body straight and balanced, slowly bend both knees to create an angle of 90 degrees between the calf and thigh of his right leg. Slowly increase from this position, bringing back forward and standing leg in the upright position. A step forward with the left foot and repeat the same procedure for the exercise of both legs.
Push Ups (upper body / arms)
Using both extended support arms, found face on a flat surface and place the palms of your hands on the floor under the shoulders and approximately shoulder width apart. Extend both legs with the feet shoulder width so that only the palms of the hands and the toes are touching the ground. Bend the elbows and lower the body until your chest is approximately three inches off the ground. Push against the ground to return to the starting position.
Sit Ups (Core)
Face lie on the floor and place your hands in any of the temples or on his chest. With bent knees, keep the soles of both feet firmly on the ground and remove the heels of both feet close to your body. Without using arms for support, tighten the abdominal muscles and lift the upper part of the torso of the Earth, bringing the chest as close to the knees as possible. Slowly return to the top of the torso to the ground and repeat.
Crazy (Cardiovascular)
Start in an upright position with your feet apart and your hands on the face. While jump about an inch from the ground, simultaneously lift hands above your head and spread feet apart at shoulder width. Jump back about an inch of the ground and return to the starting position with your hands on the sides and feet together. This is a shot of jumping.
Before starting any exercise routine is best to consult a doctor, coach or trainer to ensure the exercise runs correctly. If pain prevents that an exercise is successful, the exercise should be stopped and closely supervised pain. Using the wrong form to run an exercise or exercise too hard through a lesion can cause more harm than good and is not recommended.
