  3. Medicine Ball Rotational Throws: 10 min
    Explosive side wall throws and scoop tosses to build hip torque
  4. Landmine and Cable Rotations: 10 min

About this routine

Travis Kelce's off-season routine focuses on fluid movement, multi-directional speed, and rotational power. Worked out under the guidance of elite athletic trainers like Bobby Stroupe, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end prioritizes hip mobility and deceleration alongside strength work. This emphasis allows him to shift directions sharply on the field while absorbing heavy contact.

The session opens with multi-planar mobility work to prepare the hip capsule and spine. Footwork cone drills follow, training the body to decelerate safely and explode into a new angle. Core training centers on medicine ball throws and cable rotations, building the rotational force needed for blocking and receiving.

A brief recovery block closes out the hour, targeting tight fascia in the glutes and thoracic spine. You can follow this 60 minute sequence using a visual schedule to keep your rest intervals precise between explosive sets.

Why this routine works

  • Improves hip joint mobility and rotational strength
  • Builds deceleration capacity to protect knees during sharp turns
  • Develops explosive core torque for rotational sports
  • Restores soft tissue movement through guided post-workout flushing
