After doing the weight portion of my workouts, I’ve been spending time on the basketball court for my cardio component. Right now, it is a lot more fun than the treadmills. A few things I do:

• Start with a series of laps around the court – dribbling of course.
• Dribbling drills – forward, backward, pivoting.
• Body circles – passing the ball to myself around my waist as I move around.
• Shooting – left and right-handed.
• The new thing I did today was to be on one end of the court and throw the ball to about mid-court. I then ran down the ball and finished with a layup. Good for running, better than a normal layup and was fun!

Right now, I have visions of getting into an old-man, out-of-bball-shape league. Would also like to consider getting into a similar soccer (indoor) league. Need to get some skills acquired again and build up some stamina.
