Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
Watching the VCU Rams upset higher seeded teams left and right in this year's March Madness is making me want to start playing basketball. If you are like me and lack the coordination to actually play basketball well, you could train like a basketball player anyway to get a great workout. Here are some basketball inspired moves for you to try:
1. With your medicine ball, shuffle to your right while rolling the ball on the ground; guide it with your hand. Pause, grab your ball, bounce it, get under it, and toss up like you're going to shoot. Repeat on your left side then...work it!
2. Find a partner and a medicine ball. Take a wide, staggered stance, and toss the medicine ball to your partner overhead. You can also do this as a chest pass.
3. Suicides! You probably haven't done these since you were a kid but, it's a great way to work on agility and boosting your metabolism.
In health,
Lauren
