At the Athletic Edge we are all about innovative ways of training that  both motivate and excite our athletes, as well as get them to their goals.

There are tons of ways to get in great shape aside from going out and running for 20+ minutes.  Trainer Matt Acevedo is quickly getting in shape for his upcoming pro baseball season, and this drill is one we developed that is gonna help him blow past the competition.

This is a fun challenge, and believe me – it’s a challenge.  The drill consists of:

1. Reverse medicine ball scoop toss
2. Sprawl to the floor and immediately do 5 pushups
3. Sprint to the other cone, where the med ball is waiting.
4. Repeat as fast as possible for 2 minutes
5. Partner B and partner C go, giving you 4 minutes rest before your next set
6. 2-6 sets as conditioning improves

Keep in mind that this drill is explosive and requires technique, so it isn’t something you want to go home and try without supervision.  Come in and talk to us – we’re always inventing new and exciting ways to make our athletes better. Enjoy!
