Get on the Healthy Swing of Things

Baseball players are sporadically moving, practicing, and playing. It slows you down when you're working so hard on an empty stomach, or even worse, one full of all the wrong foods. Have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. It's a whole grain with soluble fiber, which means it soaks up unwanted fat and cholesterol in your blood, making sure you're not carrying around any extra baggage throughout your workouts. It also contains the GOOD carbohydrates, meaning your energy is increased, more efficient, and longer lasting. It slows the absorption of glucose, so you won't feel too hungry as you work hard, either. Add some milk, fruit, or nuts to give it some more taste, and enjoy your whole day!

Foam Roll to a Better Swing

Loosen up your lats to get a quicker, fuller swing with a foam roller. Lie on one side with your knees slightly bent, place the roller perpendicular to your body and about 1 inch below your armpit. Using your feet as levers, slowly move the roller up and down the lat area, pausing on any extremely tender spots. You don't need to roll far or fast for it to loosen up the area!
