Asking regarding a nearly 14 year old girl. Currently we've been doing three sets of the following:
After about 5 minutes of dynamic warm-ups:
1) Thirty to fifty jumping jacks (Cardio)
2) Reverse lunges with overhead presses using 8lb. dumbells (10 reps each side - stability, cardio & strength)
3) Squats with front arm raises using 2lb. dumbells (20 reps stability, cardio & strength)
4) Squats into arm curl into standing presses (using alternate legs & 8lb dumbells - 10 reps each leg - stability, cardio & strength)
5) Burpees - pushup into a standing leap straight up (10 reps - cardio, stability & strength)
6) Bent over row into a standing on one leg upright rows (10 reps each leg - strength & stability)
7) Jump rope - 60 to 100 reps (cardio)
The concept is to work the whole body with each exercise, while engaging the core and emphasizing different muscle groups. My question is does the above seem like a good routine for softball & general conditioning? Also how about the mix of cardio, stability (core) & strength training?
