Daily Training Tip #726

Sometimes you don’t need to get into a gym to have a good workout. Your house and garage are usually filled with great workout ideas. As I pulled out of my garage this morning, I saw enough things laying around that I could have came up with a great workout.

I saw a sledge hammer for Overhead Chops. I saw a couple of gallons of paint for Front/Side Raises. I saw a rope and a lawnmower I could have tied together and done some Rope Pulls. I saw my tool box I could have done Curls and Tricep Extensions with.

Be creative, there are so many things you can use to help you improve your conditioning levels.

Daily Training Tip #725

Every single On-Ice Movement can be reproduced off-ice in the gym. You need to train to be a complete hockey player and improve on each of your on-ice skills, however, you can spend more time improving on your on-ice weaknesses off of the ice.

Daily Training Tip #724

Spend a portion of your training time each day focusing on your weaknesses. It doesn’t matter what you did before or what you are going to do the next day, work on your weaknesses. If your shot is an area that needs work, improve on it. Or stickhandling. Get the idea?

Hitting the Heavy Bag is part of a workout. We’re training to be better athletes. We are not teaching fighting. Try hitting the heavy bag as hard as you can and as fast as you can for 30 seconds.
