Break Fast

The Team: University of North Carolina



The Expert: Jonas Sahratian, C.S.C.S.



To make sure his players are the first ones down the court on a fast break, Sahratian has his Tar Heels do resisted sprints: One player runs as hard as he possibly can while a partner stands behind him and slows him down using a special harness. (To buy your own, search for "resistance trainers" at PerformBetter.com.) But you can also build a winning physique by trying out Sahratian’s Ultimate Medicine Ball Workout, the same ab-blasting core routine he uses with the Tar Heels basketball team. (Related: 15-Minute Medicine Ball Workout) It's a six-pack sculpting regimen that will help you burn fat and improve your sports performance.
