 core
When your quarterback gets sacked, lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart and hands behind your head. Tilt your chin slightly, leaving a few inches of space between your chin and your chest Curl up and forward so that your head, neck, and shoulder blades lift off the floor, Hold for 2 seconds at the top of the movement and then lower slowly back down. Repeat 15 times.
Field Goal Lunge
Targets:
 glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps
When your team kicks one through the yellow uprights for 3 points, get into a wide lunge stance. Start with your right leg forward and your left leg back. Drop down into a lunge and hold at the bottom for three seconds. Perform 10 lunges (5 each leg) with a 3-second hold per side.
First Down High Knees

Targets:
 core, shoulders, arms

When the yellow flag is thrown against your team, drop down to the floor and hold your body up into a plank position on your hands or elbows and feet.
