10th Week - Intensity Block

By -

I can't believe we are headed into the 10th week of our season!  That means after this week we only have 5 weeks left!  That is crazy!  That said I am so stoked to be able to get back to training after our cold snap.  In the next few weeks, we are really going to be honing in on some technique work and working on gaining some more speed.  

Here is a great video showing some double pole techniques:

In this video, Andy does a great job of explaining the difference between only using your abs to using your whole core for Double Pole.  

This video does a great job of talking about Double Pole with a kick:
