1. Squat Jumps. Basketball requires a player to stay low and move forward, backward, and laterally while shooting and rebounding.

2. Jump Rope. Jumping rope not only increases stamina and endurance during a game, but it also helps you to move quickly.

3. Linear or Lateral Lunges. Lunges can help open up hips, strengthen core muscles, and allow players to exert powerful moves out of a lowered stance.

garcinia cambogia became popular worldwide after being featured on the dr. oz show in 2012.

it is a small, green fruit, shaped like a pumpkin.

the skin of the fruit contains hydroxycitric acid (hca). this is the active ingredient in garcinia cambogia extract, which is marketed as a diet pill.

how it works: animal studies show that it can inhibit a fat-producing enzyme in the body and increase levels of serotonin, potentially to reduce cravings (1, 2trusted source).

effectiveness: one study with 130 people compared garcinia against a dummy pill. there was no difference in weight or body fat percentage between groups.

a 2011 review that looked at 12 studies on garcinia cambogia found that, on average, it caused weight loss of about 2 pounds (0.88 kg) over several weeks.

side effects: there are no reports of serious side effects, but some reports of mild digestive problems.
