No Weight Room? No Excuse. Part 1-Lower Body Workout

Having a strong lower body in basketball is crucial if you are going to perform at the highest level possible.  Every time you make an exploding move on offense, jump up for a rebound, move your feet on defense, and sprint the court in transition your legs are what give you the ability to be successful over your opponent. 

 

As an athlete, there are probably more days that you will not have access to a quality weight room than days that you do.  So I guess no workout for the day, right?  Wrong, no matter where you are at, you always have your body weight. 

 

All of these exercises can be performed in your house, your backyard, garage, etc.  All you need to have is something to step up onto such as a chair.
