In the game of lacrosse you rely on your entire body to generate power, everything from your legs, your upper body, your core, and your arms. You dont have to go to gym and throw around big weights to become strong and powerful. There are simple exercises you can do around the house to increase your strength. Spend 20 minutes before school performing these workouts and you will see the difference in no time.
Push-Ups (20 reps)
Push-Ups are not just for your chest, they are great for strengthening your back, arms, chest, and core. It is probably one of the best no weight exercises you can do. Everyone thinks they know how to do a pushup, but do you really?
Underhand Pull Ups (10 reps or as many as you can do)
The video says it all. The best upper body work out possible. Remember not to swing or wiggle, slowly lower yourself down and pull straight up.
Forearm Hammer Curl (15 reps each hand)
Your form arms are essential when it comes to having follow through power on your shot. The forearm hammer curl does not require a lot of weight or time, but will have a huge effect.
Traditional Sit up (20 reps)
The core is one of the most important muscle groups when it comes to power. Its in your core that all your power from your legs is transferred, combined and channeled through your arms. The Sit up is the perfect exercise to target the abdominals and the core, but like the Pushup not many people know exactly how to do them correctly. Watch the video below for the perfect Sit up technique.
The repetition are meant as a starting point. If they get to easy, challenge yourself by first trying to do another set of all the exercises, then maybe add another 5 to 10 repetition. In all these workout push yourself to do them all correctly, have good form and complete every repetition. And of course remember to have your Wheaties and a good balanced breakfast before school.
