Preseason Stinks

Here we go folks only a couple weeks out until the start of the NFL season. This means that soon you will be sinking money and time into either fantasy football or Flag Football Right?, lol. Maybe that's just me. At any rate if your like me 30ish an somewhat in shape now is the time to start hitting the gym or track to get your body ready for the upcoming flag football season. The league i play in consist of 8 game regular season followed by the playoffs.

I don't know about you but with everything else i have going on in life it can wear me out just playing once a week. I know what your thinking just once a week. Well if you factor in kid, wife, work, etc and yea work(lol) that little mental escape i get on Sunday's can take a toll on an out of shape body. Have you ever heard that old saying 'You don't play a sport to get into shape, you get into shape to play a sport'. Well how many are guilty of that. Lets see in the B division i play in nearly all of the teams break this rule.

But have no fear this post and the following post i will title Preseason Stinks will list workouts you can use at your leisure. Of course i am no fitness guru so i will not tell you on what days you need to do what. I will just list them and of course always, always consult a doctor before undertaking any sport or exercise regime. So without further delay let the preseason begin.
