Allen Hedrick - Training the Lower Body for Football

Training the Lower Body for Football, by Coach Allen Hedrick, details how to improve the on-the-field performance of football players by having them engage in a series of lower-body exercises.

Because football, like most sports, is lower-body dominated, athletes who want to enhance their functional ability need to train their lower body.

Coach Hedrick explains and demonstrates several exercises that will enable them to achieve that goal.

Among the topics covered:

• Squats
• Front squats
• Lunges
• Deadlifts
• Straight-leg deadlifts
• Lateral-movement exercises
• Arch lunges
• Jump squats
• Dumbbell-jump lunges
