Off-season is the perfect time for youth athletes to get ready for the games that are coming in the future weeks and months. When you want to be sure you play your absolute best, this is the time to make sure you’re in shape and improving your abilities.
Doing a few exercises in the off-season can reduce your risk of injuries and improve coordination at the same time. The workouts below are designed for youth baseball players who want to play at their very best.
Warmups are important to get the body moving and ready to take on challenges. There are numerous ways to get started with a workout. It could be as simple as jogging for two minutes and doing stretches of the upper and lower back, shoulders and arms, and hamstrings and quads.
Walking lunges and arm circles and swings can also get the body loosened up and ready for more serious activity.
You don’t need to spend tons of money or travel to stay in shape for the baseball season. If you don’t have weights or equipment, use what you do have. For instance, you can lift milk jugs or canned goods instead.
After the workout is done, make sure to cool down. This reduces muscle soreness and prevents future injuries. Consider doing some overhead stretches, high kicks, and iron crosses to get the body relaxed and ready to move on to other things. This is an important part of any workout.
