AARON JONES.

INTRODUCTION
What’s up everyone! This is Aaron
Jones, Running Back, for the Green
Bay Packers and former UTEP Miner.
In my first season as a starter, I lead the
NFL in Yards Per Carry with 5.5 Yards
per attempt in just my second year in
the league. I give a lot of credit to my
teammates and the guys upfront on
the O-line to make that happen, but I
owe a lot of credit to my personal
trainer, Robert Godinez, and everybody
else in my career who helped me get in
the shape I needed to be able to
perform. What you see on Sundays is a
culmination of years of off-the-field
training. I believe the difference
between making it to the top of your
sport and fizzling out is the time spent
in the weight room and in the
offseason, getting your body ready to
make the cuts, jukes, and spins it takes
to lead the league in yards per carry.

Prepping for the Program

Now, I want you to think about the feeling you get when you plant
your foot in the ground to juke a defender. You give a little head fake,
then your leg extends, your knee bends, your foot tenses, your entire
lower half pushes off the ground, and then all of a sudden you feel
the power of momentum pushing you into the other direction. You
can feel all your muscles working together to explode in one
direction in a millisecond. And because it happens so fast (especially
at pro-speed), you don’t even think about many of the moves you
make on the field because it’s just muscle memory. That’s why even
if you play basketball, baseball, golf, or any other sport many of the
movements you perform become second nature due to muscle
memory.

BUT

Nothing becomes muscle memory without lots of PRACTICE and


TRAINING.

AND…..

You cannot get in the amount of reps
necessary to create muscle memory or
expect your legs to carry you through
entire seasons without creating a
foundation for your body in the gym. I
didn’t have expensive gym
memberships or a staff of personal
Connect
trainers when I waswith Meup in El
growing
Paso, TX. So, that’s why I came up with
this free workout and put together my
Showtyme training program that
anyone instagram.com/daxonbrady
can do at home I want to help
all you guys out there aspiring to play
professional sports, get college

league on the weekends.

I love putting on youth football clinics
for my hometown, but every year we
have totwitter.com/daxonbrady
turn people down because
there’s such demand to get in. This
program is my way to extend my
football clinic to the entire country!

Why Am I Making This?


• I want to see young athletes succeed and learn the fundamentals
of the game

• I want to see you build muscle and get the body you’ve always
wanted!

• I want to see you out work your opponents who are too lazy or
don’t put in the effort required!

• I want to see you LEARN FROM AN NFL RUNNING BACK. Not


some self-appointed guru!

• I want to see you thrive


It’s Showtyme!
Now, here’s a single day workout that you
can do from anywhere that will help you
work the muscles you need to

1. Run Faster
2. Jump Higher
3. Cut Harder

These workouts will focus on your agility,


quickness, and build power in the right
places. Let’s go!

Ice Skaters
How it helps in game: The "Ice
Skater" exercise improves your
strength on the outer portion
of your thighs (referred to as
the 'abductors'). These muscles
are the most important when it
comes to lateral movement.
This exercise will help speed up
your change of direction skills,
so you can get by your
opponents with ease!
How to implement drill: This exercise can be done for 15 seconds and
followed by a rest of 15-45 seconds depending on the condition of the
athlete. This is an intense exercise so you don't want to do this for too long
before taking a rest period.

Front High Knees:


This exercise is great to
incorporate into your warmups.
It loosens up your hip flexor
muscles which control your hip
flexibility. If your hip flexors are
mobile and ready to go you’ll
improve your body’s ability to
explode while decreasing your
chance for injury. Try doing
these for 10 yards and then
walking back ten yards. Repeat
2 times and then transition into
your next warm up!

“NEVER STOP”
Lateral Single Leg Hops:
This exercise is meant to build
explosive strength in your
calves. This helps you not only
move laterally quicker but also
run faster. It also strengthens
your Achilles tendon which
allows you to accelerate and
decelerate faster than before. I
would recommend doing this
drill for 50-100 reps at the end
of practice. Repeat twice on
each leg.

Trapbar Deadlift
Trap Bar Deadlifts are the best
exercise to increase strength in
your hamstrings and glutes. This
is imperative to agility and
speed because these are the
muscles responsible for
applying force to the floor so you
can run FAST! To increase speed,
you should load the bar with an
amount of weight that’s heavy,
but can be moved fast on the
way UP. On the way down from the squat, keep the movement slow and
focus on your FORM! Incorporate this on ‘leg day’ for 3-4 sets of 6.

Lateral Box Step Ups


This exercise is great to improve
the speed of your first step when
you take off running. To perform
this exercise place a sturdy and
stable box roughly six inches to
the side. Now plant the foot that's
furthest away from the box and
leap up while landing softly. Want
to implement this in your
workouts? Try doing 3 sets of 8
jumps on each leg. Between each
set make sure you take 2-3
minutes of rest. 6
Workout:
For this agility workout all you’re going to need is an agility ladder and a fully hydrated
and warmed up body.

We’re going to utilize all 5 exercises from above into a properly orchestrated workout.

The first column shows the exercise and the next column shows the reps and sets,
followed by your rest in-between. When see "Ice Skaters: 5x30 - Rest 30 Seconds" - this
means you perform the Ice Skater workout from the video above for 30 seconds (reps).
Then you'll rest 30 seconds and repeat that pattern a total of 5 times (sets). After you'll
move on to the next exercise and complete each one the same way until complete.

Warmup: 5 Minutes of Light Stretching
