At Home Workout Plan For Youth Football Players

Just because it’s the offseason doesn’t mean you need to take time off from getting better! Here are some simple exercises that can make a big difference when the season comes around.

Push-ups

The goal: Work up to 15-20 push-ups in a row from your toes.

The approach: Start with a minimum of 10 push-ups in a row from your knees. Then see how many you can do from your toes. Each day try to do at least 20 push-ups total (can be broken into smaller sets) and continue striving for as many as you can from your toes. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can improve if you stay consistent!

Crunches

The goal: Work up to 20 crunches in a row.

The approach: Lying flat on your back with your knees bent so your feet sit flat on the ground comfortably and your arms crossed over your chest (hands on the opposite shoulder), lift your back off the ground leading with your chin to the sky. Test yourself to set a benchmark. How many you are able to do without a rest. Do as many sets as you need to reach 20 total for the day. Try to build up to doing all 20 in a row!

Burpees

The Goal: Complete 20 burpees in a row.

The approach: A burpee consists of 3 consecutive movements. 1. Jump up in the air with your arms to the sky. 2. Under control, drop to the ground in a push-up position and your chest on the ground. 3. Push up and stand up. Start with 4 sets of 5 and as that gets easier start extending the reps in each set and decreasing the number of sets until you are at 1 set of 20 reps.

It may seem simple, but if you consistently complete these 3 exercises you will notice an increase in strength and endurance for next season!
