Muscles and Exercises You Can’t Pitch Without: Part 2

Softball Specific Core Training Rules and Exercises

In this week’s video, I explain in more detail the role of the core muscles in maintaining optimal posture throughout the windmill pitching delivery. I redefine what “the core” is and demonstrate why old fashioned exercises like sit ups and crunches are a BAD choice for softball pitchers. I also give you three pitching specific, KILLER core exercise progressions.

    Tried these myself. Excellent. Also, for folks who don’t want to give up their “crunches”: use a smaller ball squeezed between legs.
