How to Stay in Shape During Winter

Whew - I'm finally back from our family vacation and we had a blast. Part of our trip was spent in NJ were the weather was quite a bit cooler than here in Hawaii. You can tell that during this time of year, the weather is beginning to change. Summer weather is just about gone and winter weather is approaching. This is also about that time when I get questions like "How can I stay in shape during the winter?"

Well, don't forget, we have an article in our resident experts column called
Exercises to Keep You Strong and Powerful This Winter

So that's one place to start.

Other things you could incorporate are:
~ plyometric exercises
~ uphill fitness training (learn how to use the stairs in your house to get into great physical shape)
~ jumping rope (listen to music while you jump)
~ practice mechanics in a mirror with rolled up socks, nerf balls, a ball made of crunched up newspaper, or no ball as all

Another thing I recently found out about is the personalized softball-specific training program offered at Softball Performance. If you want to get into serious softball shape during this off season, this may be the route for you. You can get a brand-new, cutting-edge, totally personalized training program every month.

Get all the info at Softball Performance - > Performance Tools -> Conditioning Programs.

Hope you get into GREAT shape for next season!
