Core Board Workout

          Having a strong core makes you a better athlete and a better kicker/punter. These exercises come from an NFL offseason manual that I received from one of the teams while I played for them. We did this routine three times a week before lifting weights. Performing core board exercises aids in building frequently overlooked supporting musle groups around shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.

       Benefits include:

• more fluid execution of skills
• improved resistance to injury
• improved strength in the weight room
• improved functional (on the field) strength
• improved endurance (weak core muscles lead to earlier set in of fatigue. this is also when most injuries occur)
