Welcome back to off-season training for football: Conditioning. Warmup, we're going to start today with doing a super set of jumping jacks and crunches. So [PH] Jonesy's going to demonstrate the jumping jacks for us. We want to work this whole scheme with doing 15 jumping jacks, 10 crunches, 15 jumping jacks, 10 crunches and then 15 jumping jacks. Jonesy. When you're working with the jumping jacks, I want you to try to work for rhythm for one just to start off with and then once you get to 15, we're going to head to hit the floor and go right into crunches. 15 jumping jacks and then we're going to come right down to crunches and we're going to do 10 crunches. I want you to try to work the legs to the shoulders as much as the shoulders to the legs so think about being proportionally. Then we're right back up for jumping jacks again. [DEMONSTRATION] So when working with the jumping jacks, try to get your legs nice and wide each time and work for a full range of motion to your arms too and then come right back to the crunches again, still working the knees into the shoulders as much as the shoulders into the knees. So again, we're doing 3 sets of jumping jacks for 15 and then 2 sets of crunches for 10, and then we're done with this super set warmup and we'll move on to the next exercise which will be "dirty birds."
