8 Week Workout

Hi all!  I wanted to share a few workout programs with you.  I will post updates weekly.  First and foremost, take your time, stay in control, and if you have questions feel free to reach out to me at mamillhollin@gmail.com.

Our goal is to stay active during this down time, so that when we do hit the field again we are better prepared.  I encourage you to keep a fitness journal where you can record and look back on your testing results.  I will try to keep the workouts to a few times a week (space them as you wish), and something that can be done in under an hour with little to no equipment.  I will also post hitting and fielding programs that you can incorporate into your schedule wherever you see fit.

Dig deep and push yourself during these workouts.  The more you put into them, the more you get out of them :)
