In Brief:
It's hard to fit in a day at the golf course or a few hours on the basketball court when you have other commitments like your Abs Diet circuit and HIIT training-which is why we've found a bunch of cool ways you can improve in your sport while you're fulfilling other daily duties. Golfers repeatedly-and violently-use their elbows and wrists when swinging, so they're vulnerable to strains and sprains, says Rick Martino, director of instruction for the Professional Golfers' Association of America.

Jump from front to back with both feet for 1 minute. Now run in place while jumping the rope for 1 minute. Speed jump for 1 minute using both feet.
