Strength Training Series Kim Vandenberg

Great to have you back, Bridge fans. Welcome to the first episode of the Speed and Recovery Series, content that is dedicated to preparing you for a successful competition phase. In this episode, I have chosen to focus on the Seated Box Jump and the Hipflexor Stretch. The Seated Box Jump is an exercise that highlights hip speed, which is crucial in the majority of land based sports and all aquatic sports. To compliment that, I have selected the Hipflexor Stretch to aide in recovery. This exercise allows your body to fully optimize its hip speed leading into your competition. Let's get right into it. 

 





Don't forget, stay hydrated and make good nutritional selections as you prepare for your upcoming competitions. Stay tuned, as next week Nick Folker will dive into the next episode of thisstrength training series.
