My first workouts

Hey boys.

So Saturday I decided to start it off easy. I ran an easy 1.5 miles, did many variations of crunches and pushups, and did a quick arms workout.

Today, Monday, I met Goose at the track/football field. We did a 1 mile warm-up, followed by some "active stretching" we wanted to try out. It consisted of:
Heel to toe raise (20x), heel walk, high knees (forwards and back), butt kicks (forwards and back), slides, lunge twists (bring knee up to chest, lunge with that knee, stretch left and right and back, and then do other knee, repeat), 2x20 lunges (F/B), 2x10 kickbacks (stationary), 2x30 calf raises (each leg), 20 lateral hops, 20 hops (forward/back), 20 single leg hops, and 20 scissor jumps (think cheerleader).

Then we practiced throwing into the wind for about 35 minutes, followed by specific throwing sets (10 flat backhands, 10 IO backhands, 10 OI backhands, 10 flat flicks, 10 IO Flicks, etc. We ended with hammers, and then making quick cuts and leading the receiver) If we fucked up or dropped it, we started that set over.

After, we ran another mile, followed by planks (45 seconds Left, 45 seconds right, 60 seconds regular) and some diamond pushups.

P.s. I really liked that active stretching I'd like for some of you to try it out....just do it after a warmup run, it feels pretty good. Then ,if you need, do a minute or two of static stretching (the shit we normally do) to stretch whatever is really tight.

Please let me know what you think of it.
