CB from IGX - Principles and Re-entry phases.

Some basic principles:

- Daily activity. Stay active and get blood flowing and lungs pumping daily.

- Joint mobility and dynamic stretching upon wake up and b/f workouts. Done daily.

- RIS and band stretching post workouts. 

- Core work is short, heavy & intense. Ab wheel rollout, FLR holds, Dragon flags ect. No hi reps.

- Hockey or sport 3-4 x per week, >60 min at a time. 

- As much joint mobility, core work and low impact cardio as possible. 

- Kettlebells, bodyweight exercises, sandbags.

- Cable training and band training for upper body as you get older.

- No barbells.  

- Workout outdoors. 

- Simple, no excuses.
