With the final NCAA tournament championship game just a day away, we thought it would be fun to focus on a workout designed for basketball players. Now to be a great basketball player there are obviously certain skills you need to possess, but you also need to be strong, powerful and well conditioned. Depending on the position you play, you will focus slightly different but every single position in basketball can gain benefits from many different workouts but for today, we are focusing on a TRX workout.
TRX Workout for Basketball Players
Using a TRX band you will perform this workout in sets. Start by completing all of ‘A’ exercises for 15 repetitions each. If it says single leg or arm then make sure you tackle the other arm before moving on to the next exercises. Go through all of the ‘A’ exercises twice before proceeding to the ‘B’ exercises. Perform all of the ‘B’ exercises for 20 repetitions, again if it says single then tackle both sides before moving on to the next exercise. Perform all of the ‘B’ exercises twice through too. Then if you still have time, go through each exercise again, in order, performing 15 repetitions of each exercise.
