Offseason Pitching exercises.

Over the last few weeks, I have had alot of people ask me about pitching exercises they can do during the offseason to get rid of aches and pains and gain some velocity. If you surf the 'net, you will find alot of places that want to charge you $20 or more for a book or video demonstrating the exercises that professional pitchers use to increase arm strength. Last winter I did some searching and finally found a website that has great information and demonstrations of the exercises.

Here is a link to the PDF. Save, print and take it too the gym! If you don't have a gym membership, you can do most of these exercises right at home with an elastic workout band and a couple of small dumb bells. Good luck!
