Hockey Workout Question?

Question

I decided to try to get alot better at hockey,

and this means i will have to work-out, so i got a membership at the gym.

The one problem is, I have no idea what to do,

Does anyone know like some sort of schedule i can use or follow on a regular or weekly basis. Because when I went to the gym I just had no idea what I was doing!

Thanks Alot

Answer 1

I would highly recommend talking to the workers at the gym.  The people on here will tell you alot of good exercises to do, but unless you are doing them correctly with proper form they won't help you and could actually hurt you.  Talk to the people at they gym.  They will help you out and make sure you are doing everything correctly.  If you want to go big and do this right you could even get a personal trainer to push you consistently, but that would be more expensive.

Answer 2

Id suggest alot of leg work....all kinds calf/thy

then forarms

then you can look into biceps abs and back

you can look up basic work outs for each area

Answer 3

some leg exercises:

squats

deadlift

leg press

single leg squats

single legged leg press

wall sits w/ weight

calf raises

upper body:

bench

pullups

wrist rolls (will help alot w/ your shot)

pushups

bicep curls

tricep pushdowns

also running is very good

Answer 4

go to a ice rink and skate 4 times a week that is the only way you can get in good shape for hockey

Answer 5

First if your at the gym you should ask someone to help you. If  you played before and/or know anyone that plays in high level they probably know what to do.

I don't know what position you play, but if you are a goalie, try not to get too "toned" up. Use less weight  but more reputations.

Try to work on the beginning of your sprints. The first 3-5 steps should be very intense and on your toes, then run with your heel landing first and at finish at your toes.

Another sprint drill is to sprint then slow go between your 100%-85% (No one at any point should notice your changing speed).

This drill will work on your cardio, your start jogging for 30 seconds, then sprint for 30 seconds. (It's 30 seconds because usually in a game a shift is about 30 seconds, so when you get on the bench it'll take less time to recuperate). You decide how long you want to do that for.

This drill is similar to the last drill but instead of running you'll go down bending your knees, on your toes then jump up. Again do it for 30 seconds then take a 30 second break.

Answer 6

I would work on harcore leg strength, and arm strength.

I would also work on the core, thats stuff you don't even need to be at a gym to do.

Work on planks, and plyos, push ups and sit ups. If you do the sit ups with weights you can really feel the burn :)
