Gym Exercise Chart

 

This article and its other elements is aimed at goalkeepers from late teens to adult only.

 

The below table of exercises during a normal week’s workout might be clear in so much as the muscles you are planning to work on; the terminology or type of exercise might be foreign to many of you. I can assure you that you have seen a number of these being performed; it’s just that you might not have associated a term for it. Spend a few minutes looking at the exercises on the internet and you will quickly see that you are not being asked the impossible.

 

The exercise chart as suggested assumes you are reasonably fit to conduct all elements. If you struggle or are unable to complete consider a more gradual build up.
