When looking at the sport of football, there are a number of important fitness elements that need to be addressed. This includes your speed, force generation capacity, strength, as well as your stability. Football is one sport where you need to be very stable, quick and strong.

That's precisely what you're going to get from the Go Pro Workouts Football Training Programs. Let's have a quick look at a few drills to consider.



Exercise #1

Wall Double Footstrike

Lean at a 45-50 degree angle against a wall, with your feet together and glutes contracted. Begin by lifting your right knee quickly, pausing, and then driving it straight down into the ground. Switch legs, raising the opposite knee, and then attacking the ground straight down. Repeat alternating left and right as fast as you can for a period of time. This exercise works your hamstrings, calves, glutes and quadriceps.

Perform: 3 sets for 30 seconds to 1 minute each.



Exercise # 2

Ladder-Jacks
Start on one end of your ladder and face forward. Jump into the first box with both feet and quickly exit that box landing with one foot on each side of that box. Then jump into the second box with both feet and quickly exit landing with both feet on the outside of that box. The movement should mimic a jumping jack and should be performed through each box on the ladder.

Perform: 3-5 sets.





Exercise #3

Front Squats
Start by resting the bar on top of the deltoids and grasp it for total control. Lift the bar by first pushing with your legs and at the same time straightening your torso. Legs should be shoulder-width apart. Begin to slowly lower the bar by bending the knees as you maintain a straight posture. Continue lowering until the angle between the upper leg and the calves becomes slightly less than 90-degrees (which is the point at which the upper legs are below parallel to the floor). Inhale as you perform this movement then begin to raise the bar as you exhale.

Tip: Keep your head up at all times.


Perform: 2-3 sets, 5-10 reps.
