An Upper-Body Baseball Training Routine for the Off-Season
Baseball season is long and grueling. Teams can play three or four games on consecutive nights. With such schedules, baseball players must prepare their bodies for the stress of the long haul. The big ideas with baseball training are to create stability in the core, gain rotational power, build fast-twitch muscle fibers, encourage shoulder stability and mobility and, most importantly, develop leg strength.
6 everyday stretches for people that sit too much
By now you’ve surely heard the phrase “sitting is the new smoking,” meaning that it poses a far greater health risk than people recognize. (While it seems unthinkable today, once upon a time it was common for physicians to appear in cigarette ads.) A growing body of research indicates that sitting for eight hours (or more) a day can be just as hard on your body (if not harder) than doing manual labor. When you sit and slouch, the muscles in your upper back stretch out.

Who has seen a meathead working out at their gym? Everyone raise your hand. How many of you have seen a meathead throw a baseball or a football? How about shoot a basketball? Elite and aspiring athletes don't need to build muscle the same way that bodybuilders do. Athletes need to maintain and develop lean muscle mass.
Learn When and How to Take a Rest Day
Too often I see athletes working out 6 or 7 days a week. Whether they are elite athletes, CrossFitters or weekend warriors, they think working out every day is the best thing to do. But in reality, your workout rest days are just as important as your workouts. A lot of science goes into rest days.
