Getting in Shape to Ref

[bbref]

Thanks for all the input. I see running is the number 1 answer. I believe I will go with yoga for flexibility and injury prevention. Keep doing the suicides minus backwards (I can see where a broken tailbone could happen). Couple of miles per day of running?? May be do some 1 on 1 with my daughter.

Thanks all.

I agree that running is the best thing you can do to "get in shape" for officiating. As others have suggested, add variety to the kinds of running you are doing. (Run fast at times; run for distance/endurance at other times; etc.)

I write here to add that, whether or not you are participating in yoga, the most important thing you can do for flexibility and injury prevention is to stretch properly. For the most part, this stretching is done after your run, when your muscles are warmed up. Good luck.
