Training

PERFORM EXERCISES #1-16 & INTERVALS, 3X PER WEEK EVERY OTHER DAY

Try and perform exercises consecutively without much rest in between to keep your heart rate elevated. This will enable you to sustain, endure and perform at a high level during squash play.

Please drink 12-16 ounces of water in 1 hour of training. If you are going to hit balls after training, you may drink Propel to give your muscles additional glycogen for your next activity.

You may perform the exercises with an (*) asterisk on the Squash Court. Please try to keep moving and not take much time in between exercises (5-10 seconds is sufficient) so you keep your Heart Rate elevated.
