good gym routine for paintball

We have been doing yoga at my house in addition to some of the afore mentioned stuff. It seems to help with strength and concentration, but most noticably with balance - important in leaning out of your bunker to shoot while staying in an awkward, tight position.

I usually run a mile everyday and that takes care of the out of breath part

Seems like most people have covered the legs.

You might also want to look into upper body conditioning also.

Shoulder and biceps would be ideal for conditioning. Not really heavy weight but high reps.

Shoulders-
Military Press
Flintstones
Dumbell Press

Biceps-
Preacher curls
Hammer curls
Dumbell Curls
Isolation Curls

Those are just a few things you can try.

My reply covered just about everything. The most important aspects are:


Core strength (abdominals and lower back)
Full Body conditioning (3 day weight lifting routine)
and lower extremity strength/cardiovascular fitness


From an excercise physiologists perspective these are essential.

Also, the most important aspect that you MUST have before any of this will be effective is good nutrition!

But thats for another lesson.

Actually .. the way I figure it, video games are all you need! .. I was reading an online news site (forget the site) that had results from testing and surgeons were better if they played video games ... gonna see if I can find that study again.
