Business is Boomin'

Things should seem simple enough for roller girls. Skate fast, turn left, hit hard and stay on your feet. Though this seems easy enough, anyone who has played can tell you there is a lot more involved. Pack awareness, strategy, and the finer points of not breaking the rules complicate things when there are nine other women on the track that are doing their best to make you lose your head. How can you help yourself out? Train the way you want to play. What I mean is that you should be training at 80% or above at least three days a week in order to prepare for game time. In the gym, get in and go hard. in practice, push as hard as you can as often as you can. Here is a workout for you . Enjoy!
