Strength and Conditioning Ideas
Upper Body
- Push Up Pyramid - 100 Pushups - Start by doing 1 pushup, then 1 should raise above your head from your knees...then do 2 pushups and 2 shoulders raises, then 3...all the way up to 10 and then back down to 1.
- Dips - use a chair or bench...putting your feet on the ground (or on another chair to make it more challenging) - do 3 sets of 20
- Push Up/Dip Pyramid - insert dips instead of shoulder raises with the pushup pyramid...or do all three. This is a GREAT workout.
- Burpees - Jump at the top, make sure your chest hits the ground at the bottom. Do sets of 10 within any workout.
Lower Body
- Lunges - do sets up 10 each leg, start to add weight
- Reverse Lunges - sets of 10 each leg, start to add weight
- Single Leg Squats - sets of 10 each leg, start to add weight
- Calf Raises - start with sets of 10 each leg, start to increase
- Box Jumps if you have a box, Squat Jumps if you don't (sets of 10)
