Underwalks, overwalks and plyometrics
Hi Everyone,
My trainer at All-Star Sports Camps, Todd Robinett, has been busy taking pictures of the many drills I do. Here are three of my favorites with an explanation of what I’m working on:
This is an exercise called “underwalks” which increases strength in my hips as I move laterally. It also helps me work on balance by keeping my body over my hips, and not getting out of my center of gravity.
This time I’m doing “overwalks” which increase hip flexor strength as I drive my knees up as if I were stepping over a hurdle. When doing this exercise I move laterally and my feet should never cross. I’m also focusing on proper arm drive technique as I’m doing the drill.
Here I’m working out on the Four Square Plyometric board, an Athletic Republic tool. Both the dynamic and static Stretch Reflex is being trained to improve power; specifically the speed component of power in the lower leg. Plyometrics also work on body control and balance while I move in multiple directions (forward, backwards, lateral, and at 45 degree angles) on both legs and just one leg.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. And thanks for the comments to past posts!

Dear Eric, I’ve been keeping up with your training through Ethel, and the internet. It all makes me weak to see the hard work that you are doing. Better you, than me. I couldn’t do one of what you must do. With the blessings from God, your hard work and determination will win you the prize. I know you can’t call or correspond often, but I understand. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait until March 10th. Love and God’s grace to you, Aunt Gladys
