3 Exercises for Marching Drummers

What better way to celebrate Prelims day than a video! Try some of these exercises to get your body strong and ready to handle those heavy drums.
--
Hip Bridges Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Then, push through your heels, reaching your hips to the sky. Make sure to squeeze those glutes for maximum effectiveness!
--
In & Outs On your back again, tuck your knees up to your chest. Extend one leg out at a time, then bring them back in one at a time. Make sure to keep your lower back touching the floor! For extra awesomeness, try both legs at once. 😎
--
Prone Rows This one strengthens your mid AND lower back muscles! Start on your stomach, arms outstretched. Press your hips into the ground (squeeze them glutes!) and pull your elbows back. Your chest should come off the ground, and your shoulderblades should be squeezed together. Do these nice and slow for maximum effect!
