Socks actually does work out!
at least, as much as his nubix will allow:
"i've been sticking to what i consider to be the core of my training process (which ironically has remained constant for cross country, discus, and ultimate disc):
-plyometrics: working on turnover by running stairs, harvard two-steps, jumping, and shuffling.
why? plyometrics make you a dynamic and squirrly person. which i aspire to be. turnover is where alot of sprinting power comes from. besides, plyometrics are perhaps the most universal of all sports skills- long jumping, sprinting, capture the flag, whatever. its good to be able to jump and move the body quickly.
-core: sit-ups, elbow holds, murph-ups, trunk twists, super-mans (for back)
why? having a strong core is important for balance and speed, as well as upper body strength. you don't notice it as much, so its often forgotten, but good core strenght is key.
-leg stength: horse stances, rocket jumpes, leg lifts, lunges, toe raises
why? it makes your legs stronger. duuuuuuuuuh.
note that all of these are done without weights or equipment. you can workout anywhere- at home, your brother's dorm, a hotel."

Socks, if that is your real name.
One comment: Plyos are great. We'll do plent of them in the winter.
But now, from what I know, the best you can do for yourself is to build strength. Do you have access to a gym? If not, you can experiment with holding books or other heavy objects...
