Q - I am a basketball player, 5-11, 175 pounds. My goal is be 185-190 by July without losing my quickness. I do interval training instead of running long miles. Is that right? What suggestions do you have to build my foundation again for basketball competition? - Michael

A - For your intervals, aim for each sprint to last 12-15 seconds, walking for 1 to 2 minutes betweeen sprints. Then, twice a week, do a long aerobic "flush" workout on an elliptical machine or bike. Spend your other days playing basketball to improve your conditioning. Mix it up like this:
- Day 1 - Basketball conditioning
- Day 2 - Interval training
- Day 3 - Aerobic flush
- Day 4 - Basketball conditioning
- Day 5 - Interval training
- Day 6 - Aerobic flush
- Day 7 - Off
Take note that every conditioning session should begin and end with a 5-minute warm-up/cool-down.
