ColonFit: 42-year-old Bartolo Colon is the latest MLB player to reveal offseason training
During the 2015-16 MLB offseason, a lot of players have posted videos showing their workout regimens with a focus on the box jump.
Call it ColonFit. That "rope wave" workout is a popular CrossFit exercise and demands a lot of strength in a person's shoulders, arms and lower back. We look forward to seeing Colon back on the mound, but especially in the batter's box, come April.

Give Bartolo Colon credit. He's 43 in May & is already grinding for 2016. He also runs an academy for teen prospects pic.twitter.com/R3fQJyajtp
