How to Get Back into Basketball Shape in Only 1 Week
Holidays are the perfect time to rest, to eat and drink, and to get out of shape. All of this is really just not a bad thing to do unless you are an athlete and you have a training plan and some competition waiting just around the corner. To translate your New Year's resolutions into practical, everyday habits, you are going to need something that will move you and not burn you by getting you back into basketball shape. You really need to pace yourself because if you are going balls-to-the-wall on January 1, that typically means you are going to burn out before February.
So, rather than hitting the gym too hard beast mode that is only going to destroy both your body and your will for workout/life, here's a program that'll help you get back into shape the easy and acceptable way.
Even if this plan is designed for basketball players to get them back into basketball shape, with the main focus on exercises that are boosting jump orientated muscles, it still contains drills that are going to activate all of your body in a moderate way so it can be used by everyone.
Second thing why you should try this training program is because it contains drills that are best for fat burning. The exercises are constantly activating your legs and core muscles that just need a lot of energy to perform this kind of movement. The players that are currently using this program have good results in a way that their body fat % got lower after doing these drills for just 2 months.
How to Get Back Into Shape?
All you need to do is to go through 3 or more times though one particular muscle group in order to activate it to its full potential. And, this is exactly what are we going to do, and along the way, we are going to include some low intensity/fat burning cardio (HR<110) just to keep the blood flowing.
There will be no powerlifting, there will be no high intensity running. Just three rounds of complete full body workout with the main focus on the exercises that activate multiple muscle groups and all of that in order not to load just one part of your body that is going to feel sore for the next 2 weeks.
