Lacrosse Core Training: Pushup Position Opposite Arm/Leg

-April 30th, 2020-

As with any sport, Core training for lacrosse is extremely important and should be a primary focus in any good lacrosse training/lacrosse strength and conditioning program.

The Pushup Position Opposite Arm/Leg Raise is an advanced core training exercise.

It combines multiple aspects of proper core training: Anti-Extension and Anti-Rotation.

It also requires zero equipment, which is very important during this Coronavirus period.

The key is to keep the hips level/parallel to the ground the whole time, as if you had a glass of water on your lower back that you were trying not to spill.

Here’s a core exercise that requires no equipment. The Push Up Position-Opposite arm/leg will challenge your core stability. You can make it easier by having a wider base, or you can make it more difficult by having a closer base or starting with your hands out further on the ground. Try to keep the hips level/parallel to the ground the entire time. #PunchIn #coreworkout #homeworkout #bodyweightworkout #onlinetraining

Give this exercise a try! Start with 6-8 reps each side. You can make it tougher by doing each rep slower!
