P.E. 11 - 3 Day Workout Plan

3 DAY TRAINING PROGRAM FOR MATURE ATHLETE 

         I have found this picture that is helpful to explain my 3 day workout routine. I am at the point of my life where I need to start building muscle tone. The point of this is to make me in better in shape and also helping me with my sports performance. From up the now, I have been mostly doing cardio, which is also really helpful. However, I want to start working with weights as it will help me be in shape and help my with my basketball performance. This will help me perform better so I cannot be pushed around in the key and make it easier for me to get rebounds. What I like about this workout is that it works all parts of my body, instead of focusing on one. Another thing is that the exercises increase each day, making me work harder. Between each exercise I would take up to 30 - 60 seconds break max.

 Exercises I would add to this 3 day workout would be cardio endurance. Since I play basketball, I am on many shifts which require me to have a good cardio level. Exercises for that could be going on a treadmill for, or go for a jog on the track 10 – 15 minutes. Another thing I would add to this 3 day work out would be: to work on my vertical exercise. Since I play basketball as a sport, I need to work on my vertical leaps. This can be done by using a vertical bar stand and doing 6 x 6. In time, I will see improvement in my vertical. I would start each day with cardio and then jump into my vertical exercise, and follow by doing my weights.
