America’s favorite pastime, baseball. One of America’s favorite movies, The Sandlot. These are two classic American things to do every summer, to play some ball and have a movie night. Though I was never on a real team, I enjoyed playing in a few church softball games for a couple summers. I was surprisingly not terrible at bat. Catching and throwing … I could’ve used more practice there. My siblings and I would watch The Sandlot pretty much every summer since it came out. I need to make sure it’s a thing with my own kids now.
My mother played catcher for my bother’s coach-pitch baseball team. Her take-away from that experience is, “Don’t stand up to throw it back. Ever! Just throw it from where you are on the ground already. Your thighs will feel murdered if you.” Sounds like playing catcher would be quite the workout. I wanted to include a catcher move into a workout, so I just made the whole thing based off of baseball. How fun is it to play a pick up game like in The Sandlot? In this workout, you’ll be simulating all the moves from playing a couple innings.
