Mike Fouts has written us a post discussing resistance training techniques for squash players.
The type of training you do will depend on which of the following four categories you are trying to improve:
- General Health
- Weight loss/management
- Injury prevention
- Sports Performance
In general, Mike recommends resistance training at least twice a week for a minimum of 30 minutes, and at least 3 times a week for sports performance in particular.
The post is quite detailed in laying out the number of repetitions/set for different goals and different stages of adaptation and has a number of suggested exercises that can be easily completed in our fitness room.
For further help, Mike is running a fitness boot camp all summer long at 10 AM on Sundays, or you can also get more advice by emailing him directly at mike@overhaulfitness.ca. We also plan to introduce some more fitness programs to augment our squash offerings in late August and the Fall.
