Hoo-rah! Working out in the off-season.

by Dana

Paintball is a physical sport, especially if you are playing at a tournament level. During the off-season, I play on a small, indoor field, so it’s not a huge workout. To keep myself in shape (besides running track from March - May) I’ve devised a workout that will work for anyone.

1/2 The total push-ups you can do.
50-100 Crunches.
25-35 Fast snaps, using your legs in some semblance of a squat. Simulates remaining in a ready position for an amount of time as well as coming over the top and snapping to the side of the bunker while in that squatting position. It’s hard.

Anyway, repeat this routine 5 times, at the end I usually finish it off with some ab workout like leg-lifts or something. As you get stronger, increase the reps within the sections of the routine, and eventually add more reps to the entire routine. This will at least make sure you’re used to regular activity come paintball season.
