Fitness Routine for Athletes

By Allec Borseci


Any kind of athlete who desires to be able to increase their ability in his or her specific sport must do so through strengthening his or her personal fitness. For you to compete at a advanced level, an athlete's physical skills needs to be at, or above, that of his / her competition's. Luckily, with some hard work and dedication, almost any athlete can start a fitness training program and see spectacular results within a short time. This article, as well as the one's that will follow, will give a vast number of daily exercise routines that any athlete, in any sport, can integrate into his or her own physical fitness program.

Training routine #1

Every one of the workouts that I publish will include, not merely strength conditioning, but endurance training by means of cardio work as well. It's getting increasingly evident everyday, that athlete's are no longer limited by their position, to become, either big and strong, or small and fast. Nowadays, we are witnessing several massive athletes moving at incredible speeds and we are witnessing a number of smaller athletes with extremely explosive strength. The modern athlete needs to be strong as well as agile and that is certainly what I gear my exercises towards.

Pretty much all personal fitness programs ought to involve a sufficient amount of stretching. Previous to any exercises, it's vital that you warm-up properly. Warming up should prepare you mentally and physically for the varieties of exercises you will be performing as part of your daily workout.

The more explosive an athlete is, the more effective that athlete is at his or her respective sport. For today's training routine, we'll concentrate on developing explosive power.

Skipping Rope - 15 Minutes

-If your rope hits your feet and you've got to stop for a moment, that's fine, just begin anew. -Small breaks of 10-15 seconds are alright. -Attempt changing legs if it is possible. For instance: hop on 1 leg three times and switch to the other for three times. Or switch each jump.

Skipping rope is most likely the single most under-utilized exercises around. Nonetheless, it is one of the best routines in existence for acquiring quick feet. This is why you see boxers and mixed martial artists including jumping rope into their fitness routines.

Box Jumps - 3 Sets/20 Repetitions

-You need a box, a durable chair, or some stairs. -60 secs rest between sets. -Explode off the floor. Aim to limit the amount of time your feet are on the floor to as little as possible.

Athletes need to have explosive legs. Box jumps can help anyone develop stronger legs that will allow them to be more agile, run faster and jump higher.

Pull Ups 9 Sets/Max Reps

-3 sets normal grip -3 sets chin-up grip -3 sets wide overhand grip

When executing the normal grip and wide overhand grip, perform the pull-ups as a kipping pull-up. When executing the routine, concentrate on being as explosive as possible.

Cool Down

Immediately following any intensive exercise program, an athlete should cool down with a few light movements. Cooling down helps the athletes heart rate to get back to a normal level, as well as creates a mechanism of waste product removal such as lactic acid. You can cool-down by lightly jogging followed by some stretches.
