Pro Baseball Pitchers Workout , Johan Santana Workout

Johan Santana has one of the best Pro Baseball Pitchers Workout in the league.  Johan Santana was signed by the Mets this off season for an obscene amount of money but when you see what he does to stay in shape you might think otherwise about the money he is getting to pitch.  This workout is definitely for the typical couch potato or novice just starting off.  His routine though intense, is very thought out and can help ant pitcher with their current workout routine.  If you want to be a Pro Baseball Pitcher one day you might want to take note of what Johan does every day to stay competitive.

On Day One of the workout Johan Santana works on his lower body strength.  The lower body strength is were the pitcher gets most of his power as well as velocity.

On Day Two of the workout Johan does a lot of pitching in the bullpen as well as some cardiovascular work such as jumping rope. He than proceeds to do upper body strength training.

On Day Three Santana starts off with lower body circuit training.  He than proceeds to do a light bullpen session and finishes off the day with balance drills.

On day 4 the day begins with the medicine ball and a strong abs workout.  The next step of the workout is some cardio work or just shagging some fly balls to stay loose.

That is roughly the basis of the workout routine and now we will go more into the exact exercises that Johan Santana does on each of the workout days.
