Social Anxiety Support

I was pretty much done after 1 shift. Luckily I have until October 6th to get in shape a little.

Any advice? I know that obviously I should be doing something like running, the treadmill, the stationary bike, the elliptical, but I don't know the specifics of how long, how often, how intense, etc.

You should a combination of the following:

1. HITT Training/Interval Training, where you sprint for a certain amount of time than jog and repeat. Example, 15 second sprints, 30 second jogs and repeat.

2. To simulate the weight you have to carry in hockey, run with your pads or take a back-pack, put some weight on it, secure it very well and run a considerable distance until you can't do it anymore.

Be sure to keep well-hydrated.

Thanks for the advice. I found out some more info on HIIT ( http://www.intervaltraining.net/hiit.html ) and started training at the gym today.

I worked up a sweat but I felt a little self conscious about only spending 25 minutes-ish at the gym. HIIT is so short.

It is short because you should be completely exhausted after 25 minutes or you need to adjust your sprint time to make it more intense.

Another thing you should work on is plyotechnics and working on explosive movements. An example is doing a push up, but pushing yourself up into the air and going back down in push-up form. Another is taking a medicine ball and smashing it into the ground and catch it again. A 3rd is squat down then jump up explosively. A 4th is to start in plank position, bring your legs in, and jump up and reland in a plank. There should be some pylo specific to hockey though that'd help you out more, look it up!
