⚽The Morning After A Loss⚽

Team USA did a terrific job in the World Cup but the game against Belgium left something to be desired.  We must celebrate their accomplishment but push for better.  Let’s do the workout you might expect the coach to inflict on the team after their disappointing loss.  Thank you Gemini AI for helping me create this soccer inpired workout✨

The Warm-A-Rama

• Mosey with High Knees & Butt Kicks

Thang 1: Plyo & Explode

• Ballerina Hops (Explosive, quick contact off the balls of the feet, IC).

• Apollo Ohnos (Lateral bounding side-to-side, holding the landing to test that ankle stability).

• Tuck Jumps (Straight out of the Exicon—driving knees to chest at the peak).

Thang 2: The Strength Circuit

• Nordic Hamstring Drop – Partner-Up exercise where PAX 1 anchors the ankles while PAX 2 does the slow drop, switching after 10 reps.
