Quarantine Training

Here at Ironworks we want to wish you well and hope you are staying safe during these crazy and unprecedented times. We want to extend our condolences to the athletes who have lost their seasons this spring, as well as extend our well wishes to those who have lost loved ones.

Not only have athletes lost entire seasons, but the athletes in their offseason have been pushed to make huge changes in their training programs.

As we all know, training is one of the biggest things that lead to an athletes success or failure, but beyond that, a teams success or failure.

As an athlete, it is important to not only to continue training for strength, but also to keep up their cardiovascular fitness as well; how do you do that?

In this article we are going to give you two different cardio workouts you can do at the track, on the field, or if you can find a hill. Additionally, we are going to cover the basics of strength training with minimal equipment!

First off, strength training at home is pretty simple. All you need are some basic household items to truly create yourself one damn good workout.

Items Needed

• A towel

• Stairs

• A Gallon Jug of Milk or Water

• Propane Tank From The Grill (if possible)

• 5 Gallon Bucket (Think Orange Bucket From Home Depot)

• Bag of Dog Food if you have it

• A Basketball

• A Lacrosse Ball or Baseball

With the listed equipment you can easily create a one hour workout.

Heres an example of a lower body day:
