Overview:

Coach Walbeck presents his ideas
for developing the necessary strength
to be a successful baseball player.
---------------------
'Training with a purpose' is crucial
for maximum strength. The physio
ball is a valuable exercise tool
for baseball. The ball is used for
crunches, which strengthens the stomach,
gluts and back muscles.
---------------------
The hamstring exercise works on
balance and stabilization. Another
exercise that strengthens the lower
back and gluts is the "Superman" drill.
---------------------
The simple foam roller can be used
to stretch the IT band in your leg.
By rolling your thigh over the
roller, your knees, back and arm
will benefit.
---------------------
The spin stretch is executed by
using the foam roller also. Balance
is enhanced by working with the
Erickson balance pad. Dumbbell
exercises are shown to strengthen
shoulders, arms and biceps. These
exercises can help any player with
his throwing ability.
---------------------
Leg weights, rubber tubing and
medicine ball exercises can be
incorporated into this workout
routine. Other important stretches
are the hip flexor, glut stretch,
groin stretch, sleeper stretch and
hamstring stretch.
---------------------
The skill of running, both distance
and sprint work, is necessary for
all baseball players. Baseball
players can increase their talent
level by properly working with
this stretch program by major-league
veteran Matt Walbeck.
