WORK OUT LIKE A PRO Workout by Adrian Chavez, Drew Luplow, and Marshall Rosenberg Photos by Monique Brooks
Polo is a grueling sport that makes very unique demands of the body. To help you take your game to the next level, polo pro Drew Luplow and Houston polo player Marshall Rosenberg demonstrate some basic work outs to improve core, strength, and functional mobility to support your polo game at every level.
KETTLEBELL SQUAT
PALLOF PRESS
LEGS, CORE
HIPS, CORE, STABILITY
Level 1: A squat holding a kettlebell will strengthen your legs, glutes and core. If you have ankle mobility problems, the block under your heels allows for a more neutral spine posture and better loading of the legs.
Level 1: Kneel on one knee and hold one end of a resistance band to your chest. Extend your arms, keeping the band taut with shoulders facing forward. Repeat Level 2: Perform the same motion in a deep lunge (split stance).
Level 2: Holding and squeezing a ball between the elbows challenges the core to aid with stability.
