Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has been attempting to train in the offseason, but he hasn’t been able to do so at the team’s headquarters in Eagan, Minnesota.
Instead, Rudolph has had to get a little more creative.
“I did a lot of pushups, a lot of situps. I ran around the neighborhood, I ran in the yard. You try to find a park or an open field,” Rudolph told USA TODAY. “And that’s kind of what I’ve resorted to. Thankfully, I’m fortunate now to be in a different situation than I was when I was in middle school and trying to work out. So we do have some fitness equipment here at the house.”
Rudolph also told USA TODAY that he is still in direct contact with head strength coach Mark Uyeyama and head trainer Eric Sugarman, who have been emailing him on what he can do.
“Whether it’s giving us functional movements that you can go out in your backyard or out in your front yard or go in the driveway, or if you can find a park nearby, go to the park and it allows us to get at least some functional movement and then it goes up from there,” Rudolph said.
