In this video, Steve Bernhardt of Baseball Factory makes recommendations for keeping young pitchers healthy while also getting them into a routine that will help them build arm strength.
Hamstrings and glutes both contribute to hip stability and lower body strength. Improve the strength and stability of your hamstrings and glutes while also challenging your balance.
It doesn't matter which sport you play. Having a strong foundation will make you a better athlete. Incorporate these 4 movements into your routine for maximum balance and stability in the hips, knees and ankles.
Challenge your balance with the Single Leg Balance on stable ground, and then on an unstable surface like the Balanz Pad. You should feel it in your hips and ankles.
To develop stronger, more stable legs practice the Linear Hop Drill. This exercise creates single leg stability and decreases the risk of injury to the hips, legs and ankles.
This series of Mini Band movements are technical and controlled, and will result in greater lower body strength and stability. Increased lower body strength and stability translates to improved performance in all aspects of your game.
The Mini Band Extended Rotation is the perfect way to improve hip strength and flexibility through a simple movement which also prevents hip and hip flexor injuries.
Improve the strength and stability of your hips and glutes with the Mini Bands Linear Straight Leg Walk exercise, which is a key to hip flexor stability.
This move helps improve the strength and stability of your hips and glutes, generating long term durability and overall improved performance of your legs.
