She also advised orking on core body muscles (abs) and doing agility drills will hope with change of direction moves we must be ready for.

Thanks, Rick. This is great. I assume the training aerobically on low impact equipment would be using the elliptical and cross country ski types of equipment as mentioned in some of the other posts.
