Pre-Season Work

[KJUmp]

I do the same thing in the spring, that I do in mid November (when I'm in the off period between the end of fall BB&SB to basketball). 3 weeks @ 3 times a week in the gym at 60-75 min.per workout. Treadmill and bike. I adjust speed and resistance on the bike and speed and incline on the treadmill to simulate whatever my legs/thighs/calves/feet/ankles "feel" during a game. I add some weight work on the universal for my legs, thighs, and calves during my "tween" season basketball to baseball/softball workout to fight off that early season upper thigh pain you described in our post.
BTW...it took some trial and error over a few off seasons for me to figure out just what my body needed for pre-season conditioning. As with many of us, age and injuries (both nagging and serious) play a factor....esp. if we have to do any rehab.
