SENIOR FITNESS CHALLENGE!!!

HELLO AND WELCOME EVERYONE! I believe that everyone is faced with at least one challenge in their lifetime...the moment of challenge is the moment of truth. We are defined by those moments. Perhaps my greatest challenge was surviving prostate cancer. However, each week, my workout partner and I challenge "bunker hill." Thirty yards with an elevation of ten yards. This workout is every wednesday for 90 minutes, 5 sets of:
1) sprinting forward
2) sprinting backward
3) plyometric hops (both feet at a time)
4) plyometric hops ( one foot at a time)
5) high knee lifts, springing off the ground as high as you can (highfliers)
6) spinning 180's for ten yards
7) squats and leaps, holding an 8 pound ball, squat and and fire upward off the
ground lifting the ball high overhead.
8) cool down with five sprints for 50 yards at 65% of capacity.
9) stretch for 20 minutes.

One side note..I had a request to talk with and teach a group of 7th and 8th grade athletes about load and explode...speed bursts, and foot work. That was the highlight of my day. Thanks guys.

HAVE A GREAT AND MEANINGFULL LIFE EVERYONE! JIMMY O
