This forum topic is for people who do not have the privelige of going to a gym, for whatever reason. There are things that are explained how to improve in the gym, but no ideas for home use. My first inquiry is how to perform effective mobility-stability training at home.

I use the following guides to work on my mobility at home. I try to do them every day, regardless of if I train or not and they make a real difference:

I think a lot of stability comes from a strong core. I follow the routine here:

All at home! Hope it helps.

I've just been on another thread and posted this advice

Kickboxing routines (a lot of personal trainers in gyms can show you how in one session) are fantastic for balance, core stability, ab work, hip and hamstring flexibility, while also giving some cardio as well.

I am a judoka and can rarely train at moment due to a 2 month old child. I am so time poor that I developed a routine of doing kickboxing routines while holding the baby. The motion (note I'm kicking air not a bag) puts her to sleep while giving me a workout that is great under the circumstances. This routine is applicable to just about any sport. For cricket the conditioning will help prevent injury while the balance and agility will help a batsmen and muscular endurance will help a bowler batsman or fielder

**APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE ECB**

The new DURABANDĀ® is now available to have you improving your batting, bowling and fielding - fast. With a range of simple but highly effective exercises and drills, youā€™ll be developing your skill levels to new heights.

In just 15 minutes a day, youā€™ll notice a dramatic improvement with regular use of the DURABANDĀ®. Not only that but your DURABANDĀ® doubles up as an amazing home gym, too. So now you can start developing the correct muscle groups you need to play cricket immediately.

And because DURABANDĀ® is designed by experts in their field it has been specially adapted for cricketers from beginner right up to first-class level. Thatā€™s why youā€™ll love it.

If you can find just 15 minutes a day the DURABANDĀ® can help you with:
BATSMEN - increase your hand speed through the ball to hit the ball sweeter than ever
BOWLERS - accelerate your arm speed so you bowl faster and with better control
FIELDERS - improve your throwing arm to become accurate and stronger
The DURABANDĀ® will have you engaging the correct muscles you need to use in the perfect technique. This is done by fully interchangeable resistance bands that you alter as you get stronger and more efficient in your cricket. A simple snap into place of the D-ring and the DURABANDĀ® will have you playing shots better, developing arm, wrist and shoulder strength, plus understanding the perfect sequencing of your movement.

DURABANDĀ® is therefore designed to help take your game forward without the need of others to train with. This is thanks to the amazing DURABANDĀ® system that allows for changes in resistance bands you can use indoors or out.

Unlike other thin resistance bands that have no handles, grip or attachments, DURABANDĀ® comes with attachments including a specialised batting handle called a DURABATā„¢ and a DURABANDĀ® Cricket Ball. This means you can get your resistance training while functionally going through your exact bowling and batting movements and practice anywhere, at any time. The DURABANDĀ® training system uses thick resistance bands that are just one inch wide. The benefit of this is the layered technology in making these bands helps them to be stronger, more durable and resistant to tears, ripping and pin holes. In other words, your DURABANDĀ® is designed to last.

DURABANDĀ® is something you can take with you anywhere, allows you to practice at any time and should become a vital part of your cricket development - whatever level you currently play at. What could be better than that?

When you teach yourself developed muscle memory through the ā€˜feelā€™ of the resistance bands, youā€™ll be able to drive your weight through either the DURABATā„¢ or DURABANDĀ® Cricket Ball and appreciate the timing required. Youā€™ll be imprinting the right sequencing on your muscle memory. By getting into the key positions and holding those positions with the DURABANDĀ® youā€™ll be ā€˜groovingā€™ your technique without the need for a net. These shot grooving, throwing and bowling grooving sessions with the DURABANDĀ® form the fundamentals of good practice. And by learning to resist against the bands, you discover how to be stable, balanced and powerful.

When you choose the DURABANDĀ® ā„¢ youā€™ll be in great company. Thatā€™s because DURABANDĀ® is designed by professionals, for professionals. And now that same technology is available to you today. The DURABANDĀ® cricket trainer comes complete with instructions, suggested drills and in a handy zip carry bag to keep tidy when not in use. You can take this with you to nets or use in a back garden. You can even set it up in a bedroom at home, quickly and easily.
