HI all
A very happy New Year to you and your families. Lets hope we get to compete in 2021.
I will post sessions over the coming weeks; you will need to adapt depending on surface you are training on, weather etc. etc.. We will use the opportunity to complete a lot of circuits to ensure balance and mobility when we return to the track. We will do on-line zoom classes for the group at normal training times (if interest!!!)
TODAYS SESSION:
Warm up:
1) Please click on link How to warm up and activate your body to sprint with Paul Opperman (jnrcru.org) and work through your band warm ups, lunges etc. through all planes of motion.
2) Plyo Box step ups: (bottom step of stairs etc. if you do not have a box) - 15 right leg / 15 left leg By 2. See YouTube below for how to correctly execute. Keep controlled.
3) In full plank position : alternating sides - left foot to left hand - right foot to right hand by 10 each side
4) Single leg dead lift: slowly and squeezing glute at top: 8 left leg then 8 right leg https://youtu.be/HtHxnWmMgzM
5) Hip Bridges: 10 double leg, 5 right single leg, 5 left single leg by 2
