The Daily Workout: April 16

Time off court can be a great opportunity to try out more strength-based workouts so you don’t have to worry about being sore for a practice or match the following day! This series is designed for complete customization to whatever muscle group you need to hit most today. It’s divided into 3 separate circuits: upper body, lower body and core. You can do as many rounds of each circuit as you’d like. For example, legs feeling a little sore from Paige’s AMRAP yesterday? Complete just 1-2 rounds of the lower body circuit instead of all 5. 
​
All you’ll need is a mat and 1 or 2 weights! You can also swap in resistance bands if you have those instead. Check out the videos below for form cues and explanations of each movement! ​
