Offseason Workout in Full Swing


Hollins Soccer is doing something new for its offseason workout. Sarah Otey, assistant athletic director, has implemented the Vegas Pro workout system. The system closely resembles adjustable gymnastics rings, and can be used for a full-body strength training workout.  Research has demonstrated that suspension training results in strength gains equivalent to those seen in traditional strength training, and core stability and balance gains that far exceed those seen in traditional strength training. Studies have shown that this form of exercise training improve balance, kicking velocity, and torso stabilization. See the video in the link to see one of the exercises in motion.
