This optional preseason workout was designed by Kim Cowherd-Iacovazzi.
There is a speed workout, an endurance workout, and a combination workout.
The goal is to have the girls work to their full potential - and even push themselves a bit! We are hoping that by summer's end, most girls can do one of the workouts in it's entirety (with the full # of repetitions suggested).
For maximum benefit, alternate the choice of your workout (#1, 2, or 3) during the week. These workouts, if consistently and honestly completed, will give you that desired advantage at the start of the fall season!!
