Pitching Workouts Put to MUSIC!
Hey There Friend!
I love doing Peloton "outdoor" workouts. I started doing them during the pandemic and continue to enjoy them today. There is something about listening to music while working out that makes things so much more enjoyable.
The added structure of having a Peloton coach tell me WHAT to do and WHEN to do it made planning my workout effortless. This made me want to create some pitching workouts set to music for my pitchers!
Although music copyright laws prevented me from sending out workouts that included specific songs with voice-over instruction like what Peloton does, I have been able to put together some FUN workouts that allows pitchers to CHOOSE their own favorite songs and gives them a PLAN on what to do for each song!
I've included these types of workouts with my pitchers off and on this training season and they LOVE them. I thought you might enjoy trying them with your pitchers as well!
I created 2 different, 5 song workouts for you. One workout is focused on POWER and the other on TARGETS.
All you need to do is:
- Choose 5 songs to use for the workouts
- I suggest asking your pitchers to pick the music!
- Download the workouts below and make sure you understand everything BEFORE starting the workout
- The workouts are very easy to understand BUT will challenge pitchers of all ages and skill levels!
- I have included links to watch videos on any of the things you may not know how to do
- Make sure you have all the equipment you need for each workout
- The POWER workout requires you to have a 5-gallon bucket for a drill in one of the songs
- The TARGET workout requires you to have a "batter" available. If you don't have an extra person to be a batter, find an object to put in the box!
- Get to WORK!
- The entire workout will last around 20 minutes. The exact length will depend on the songs you choose!
You can download the POWER and TARGET workouts HERE!
Let me know how they go and if your pitchers like these as much as my pitchers do! If they are something that lots of you like, I can create more of these for you to use in the future! You can reach me via email at [email protected]!
Have a great weekend my friend! I'll be in touch again next week!
All My BEST,
Myndie
