Basketball Player’s No Equipment Workout

My son is 13 years old and trains for basketball throughout the week both at the gym and the basketball court.  For the days that he cannot meet with the trainer, here is the one hour workout that he is supposed to follow.  I thought I’d share it with you in case you know someone that is also in training for sports teams.

In order to be a good basketball player, Travis needs strength, speed, agility and needs to be able to jump high.  If you are looking for a more basic, no equipment home workout, here is the one that I currently use:  Daily Home Workout:  Great For Vacation  No matter which fitness workout you go with, make sure that you workout on a regular basis.  Before long you will develop endurance and stamina which will carry you through a much longer and vigorous workout session.  It’s never too late to start a fitness plan.  Go slow, ease your body into it and before long, you will be hooked.  It’s such a great feeling to watch yourself progress in terms of strength and especially the need for smaller sized clothing.
