TOP 5 LOW COST ITEMS FOR LACROSSE FITNESS TRAINING:
- Stability Ball- this is the tool you must have to develop a foundation of balance and core
strength. Any fitness level can start here using only body weight and developing balance with
planks, crunches and stretching moves. Progress up to full workouts with bands and dumbells
to fire stabilizer muscles while training the targeted ones. Look for other articles detailing
stability and medicine ball combos.
- BOSU Trainer-the BOSU stands for both sides up! This tool combines features of a stability ball
with the functionality of a balance/wobble board. Incorporating the BOSU into your workouts will
lead to strength gains and develop your off balance strength. Think how often during a game
that you have both feet perfectly balanced on the ground. Normally you are off balance and
moving--so train for that.
- Medicine Balls-Partner tosses, Chops, Slams, and more will develop power at a different level
then conventional resistance training. Releasing the ball helps to develop explosiveness. The
ball design allows for many functional applications to lacrosse.
- Kettlebells- old school Russian training tool has reemerged in todays fitness world. Swings,
figure eights, and farmers walks are only a few of the exercises you can perform with the
Kettlebell.
- Sandbags-- Yes, sandbags like you see on the road. Try alternating lunges switching the bag
from shoulder to shoulder each step. The weight shifts around inside the bag, working hand
and grip strength for a bonus.
