  A few people have emailed me about what to do in the off-season and since my replys of listen to lots of Buffett, play catch with your dogs  (using wfd technique) and play lots of poker dont seem to be helping, I thought I would maybe give ya a rundown of what I am doing now and as the year progresses.  I will most likely move this to my web site as the year goes on.

Valenti,

All I can say is get your elsborate workouts now b/c once the baby gets here workout time becomes limited and hard to come by!!!

  No problem,,,remember I work nights!  No having to get up with the baby at 3:00am!Mommy also knows that a throwing ,lifting mark is a happy mark...that means no sitting out on the front deck yelling at kids for driving to fast or trying to repair things around the house.

Paratroopers,,,you ill informed hump,,,are jumps done from a split leg position...hands on hips  go down to your knee almost touches the ground and then spring up as  high as you can into the air and switch feet. drop right back down into the lunge position and repeat....use a mat to do these on though in case ya hit your knee.
