	By Kevin Miehm Owner Hockey Speed and Power   Tip #1 - Core Region [ Archive | Next Week » ] There are many important areas that a hockey conditioning program must focus on. In my opinion, the most important is the core region. When I speak of the core, I am referring to the centre of the body, from the lower region of the chest to the mid thigh. This area of the body can be thought of as the power centre of the body. When an athlete strengthens this area, there is an immediate increase in performance. Three exercises which target this area very well are: Stability Ball Rollout Use a small range of motion to begin. Perform 2 sets of 10 reps Reverse Hyper Perform 2 sets of 10 reps. Stability Ball Russian Twists Perform 2 sets of 10 per side Try and perform these three exercises three times per week. Next week, I will continue with more core exercise and add some energy system work also. "Don't Just Train. Train Like A Pro." © 2003 Kevin Miehm
