Conditioning - Wall Sitting

Now throughout these blogs you will of heard me talk about your legs, your legs, conditioning for your legs. Well you legs carry you up and down the court, slide you on D and explode you on shots so they need to be in shape and ready to go at all time. The legs are your most important muscles when it comes to basketball and half of being able to perform to your potential you need to be able to move like you can. This is often used as a punishment drill for kids but for serious players it is a great way to condition your legs to stay down low.
Sitting on the wall with your legs at a 90degree angle you will certainly feel the pain. Hold a basketball directly out in front of you to stop the temptation of cheating. Now start by doing this for 30seconds at a time repeating it 3 times but eventually you need to be working towards being able to hold this position for 2minutes at a time. If you can do this your legs are certainly getting stronger and you will feel the difference.
