Building Strength in Your Driving Leg for Fastpitch

Tess is demonstrating a toe-loading drill in lateral stance.  Implementing the 2nd phase of a pitch, right before take-off and release.  I stole this idea from @Fosterfastpitch on IG. And we have started adding it into your workout routines with various loading patterns.  The concept is learning to load the toe and use the driving legs to force the weight shift through the feet and up the chain, through the glutes/hips.  Toe-loading activates glutes, glutes are POWER.  So learning...

Cardio for Fat Loss Workout

https://youtu.be/AZ9KC0KCANE I had a lot of people asking me about sample cardio and fat-burning workouts from my article I posted earlier, Cardio Workouts for Fat Loss and Metabolism So to better help you understand, here is a sample, aerobic workout, meaning you work in a lower heart rate for longer periods of time.  "with oxygen" = aerobic--A good guideline to follow is you can still carry a conversation on while doing the workout, but you can only get in 1-2 words at...

Leg Day Idea: Banded Walking Lunges

For a cool twist on an old move, try out this anti-rotational movement with a band.  To make it work, anchor band to a sturdy anchor point at hip height.  Wrap the loose end of the band around your shoulder and turn a complete circle, wrapping it around and behind your back.  The goal is not to let the band twist you around as you lunge. Coaching Cues: Keep hips square and straight.  Whole foot into the floor. Focus on...
