Feeling the Sunshine, Spring 2020
An EHS Student Special Feature Publication
For…
→Runners: map out and plan runs according to your event around your neighborhood. (Time
yourself) Keep up work outs for legs and core.
→Soccer: practice footwork, even inside if you have to. Practice touches by passing to a wall. If
possible, practice shooting on targets.
→Volleyball: look into a rebound net, practice with someone at home, or simply set the ball to
yourself
→Hockey/Field Hockey: practice stick handling around cones and strikes at a target.
→Tennis: find a sturdy stone wall to practice rebounding. If secluded enough, try to go to a
private court with someone at home to practice (try not to do doubles at this time).
→Swimming: though difficult without a pool, look into arm and leg workouts to increase speed
and power of strokes (also swim if you have a pool-obviously).
→Baseball/Softball: throw balls up to yourself at different speeds and different directions. Look
into a rebounder to throw and catch or pass with someone at home. Work on swing form and
power (don’t overdo it, without the force of a ball you can hurt your arms).
→Basketball: play around on a hoop outside. Look up games to play so you don’t get bored. If
you don’t have a hoop, work on dribbling and control. Mimic taking shots straight in the air.
→Lacrosse: look into rebounders to pass and catch. Practice running with the ball and scooping
off the ground. Create targets to shoot at.
→Wrestling: look up videos to strengthen core and arms, try to practice fast movements and
learn moves to use in matches.
→Football: practice throwing the perfect spiral to yourself and running to catch it, work on fast
feet and do strength exercises.
Record hard or impressive workouts so you can send the videos to schools, as this may
be the only way to impress them as of now. Even if you’re not a senior, it’s good to record
progress so you can evaluate and improve yourself.
For general workouts to stay in shape, get into routines with pushups,
sit-ups, mountain climbers, apple pickers/Russian twists, and any other
activities you can do without weights/materials such as bike rides, walks or
runs. If you can afford it, purchase resistance bands and/or an agility ladder
and find workouts online to correspond to what you’re trying to improve.
Make sure to drink plenty of water and get enough rest.
This virus is the enemy and we shall not lose. Don’t raise the white flag, this is a battle
and we need to fight back, get on the battlefield soldiers!
