Off-season training for football, the warm up, body weight squats with jump rope. [PH] Jonesee is going to do some body weight squats to get us started. We're doing the body weight squats to develop full range of motion through the legs. We're going to do 15 body weight squats, and then right after the 15 body weight squats we're going to jump rope for 30 and then go back to the body weight squats. [DEMONSTRATION] Good. Don't do all 15 but go ahead and jump into the jump ropes now. Okay. Again, with the squats, I want you to think about pressing through your heels, looking parallel to the floor. Good. 30 jump ropes and then we're going to finish up with another 15 body weight squats, okay? Keep your eyes parallel to the floor each time, looking at the horizon, and then right back to the body weight squats. Get as low as you can each time. This is just to warm up the body, working to get the full range of motion going. So again, notice that he's trying to get down as far as he can. Now, this is warm up, so you might be a little stiff. But as you progress, you're going to get deeper and deeper. Just make sure that you're still looking horizontal to the floor the whole entire time and that you're trying to drive up through your heels as you go. And then, we'll move on to our next warm-up exercise.
