Monday Conditioning

Hockey season is starting up now and that means conditioning. This is used as a team building and to get inshape before the season starts next month. It is very strenuous on the body. Our team works out monday through thursday, friday we have off, but we have a 8am workout on saturday morning. Yes I know the saturday morning is pretty rough, but it helps because we won't go out as much and party. So on mondays we do dryland for a bout an hour and a half. This consists of a 15min warmup which is not easy, doing short sprints,lunges, squats,etc... Then we do the ladder workout which helps with quick feet. What we do is start in pushup position and go through a bout 20-25 ladder holes with our feet doing different exercises then into a 10 yard sprint. After that we do the box workout which helps for latteral movement and back peddling. Finally we finish with eight 100 yard sprints with doing 25 sets of pushups, crunches, and squats at the end of each sprint. Now you might think that this workout is hard and it is but it is also very necessary if we want to have a great season and finsh strong. I don't mind doing it because I like staying inshape.
