20 & Down


As we all know, it is a real challenge to get to the gym on a regular basis during the hockey season. When you find yourself cramped for time, here�s an exercise that you can easily incorporate into your practice routine that will help you to keep your strength up.

Instructions
  1. Find a teammate that will be your partner. (This is not completely necessary but can help to motivate you.)
  2. The exercise is push-ups. Start with a number that you are comfortable with. It could be 10 push-ups or 20, as long as it�s obtainable.
  3. Start by doing the number of push-ups that you�ve chosen. If it�s 10, do 10. If it�s 15, then do 15.
  4. Once you�ve completed your push-ups, it�s your turn to rest while your partner does theirs.
  5. Work your way down to zero. i.e. 15,14,13,12, etc.
If you try to commit to doing this twice a week, it will really help you to keep your strength up, and you�ll actually see your strength increase as the number of push-ups that you are capable of doing increases.
