Written by O2 Fitness | Feb 18, 2023

The Carolina Hurricanes Strength and Conditioning Coach, Bill Burniston, knows that just like his players, you don't need to spend a ton of time in the gym or constantly doing high-impact and high-intensity sets to see performance-enhancing results from your workouts.

That's why he created this quick 30-minute workout for our Train Like the Canes game-day workout series!

Each of these unique workouts requires minimal equipment and aims to help you build strength while also including a variety of stretches and exercises to improve your mobility and flexibility.
