How should I properly condition for basketball that starts in 3 weeks?

I've spent about 15-30 minutes on the elliptical machine I have at my house, I've been eating better, and I've been playing basketball outside for a few hours with a couple friends. I'm 14. Do you think this is enough to condition myself?|||Hi! Here are a couple of trainings you can do to condition for your basketball camp:


- Try to do the most push-ups and set-ups you can (AM-PM)


- Run about 2-3 km/day


- Do some Plyometrics so you can jump higher


- Eat healthy food ( Fruits, Vegetables, Salads ...)


- Play Basketball ( Shoots, Rebounds, Jumps, Technique) If you are with friends, you can also practice your passing


- Scuicides


- You can also look for drills on the internet. That way, you can practice them to master them at your camp.


- Dribble a ball :)


There's surely a lot more but this is what I do everyday to be ready for my camp too. Hope this helps


Oh, and by the way, to answer your question, I don't think what you're doing is enough but it's better than nothing ;)|||No that's not enough at all. On the elliptical, common now... In bball tryouts they make you run full court 10 times at once as fast as you can. And its tryouts so you gotta do your best, there is no jogging. You need to do more than what is expected. If you Really want to condition yourself, run as hard as you can for as long as you can every day.|||No. Do suicides if you can. If not run like 2 miles a day. Eat healthy food. Play basketball.
