Fre Flo Do

[Randall]

Reggie Bush will return to New Orleans for the start of the team's Organized Team Activities (OTAs) next week.

Bush has been working out on his own in Los Angeles performing a type of training called Fre Flo Do that includes plyometrics. Bush should enter 2007 in better shape after suffering through minor injuries for much of last summer.

 

Bush said the ankle is fine now and he is in excellent shape because of a new workout regimen he began in Los Angeles last February. It's called fre flo do (pronounced FREE-flow-doe), which Bush described as a Chinese-inspired type of training that builds strength with exercises focused on flexibility, quickness and endurance.

 

Like a number of new-age physical fitness genres that seem to thrive in California, fre flo do also has a meditative and spiritual component.

 

Bush said he likes it because it plays to his strengths as an athlete.

 

"You know, some of my plays last longer than the average play, so I'm trying to simulate that ... going beyond the average time within a workout," he said.

 

Going into his second season, Bush already plays well beyond the level of an average running back. But when addressing his expectations for this season, he didn't want to talk about yardage and touchdowns.

 

"I've never been big on setting personal goals. The only thing I care about is Super Bowls," Bush said. "Your legacy is based on championships — how many championships you win — and you remember guys like Michael Jordan and Walter Payton and even a Tom Brady. That's the kind of caliber athlete I want to be remembered as. So that's what I shoot for when I'm training."
