Sports conditioning in the lower body is what we are going to focus on. Of course we are always going to use that core for support. Quick, explosive, dynamic movement. First we are going to imitate four points. I like to bring my clients forward first, lateral, back. So basically we're going to draw a box. We're going to hit all four points. Fire this way, side, knees got to stay in line, it's a hinge joint. It fires interior, posterior so we don't want to put a lot of flaction and extension on it. I hear blew an ACL a lot and that's going to happen if you move in that opposite direction that that point is meant to move. The four points back, and then simply reverse it. Now you can get quick with this, you can get explosive stop, stick it, stick it, back up. As soon as you can switch directions. The more you can keep that cross crawl mechanism firing from the central nervous system the better and that one will wind you quickly. Again, quick explosive type. I like to come forward first and then back. And that's one way to kick in cardio as well with that lower body.
