Never skip leg day: Jim Harbaugh gets in workout while out recruiting for Michigan
Published:
Between practices, recruiting, spring ball, film study and the other little things college football coaches have to do throughout the year, getting in a regular workout can be a chore. Leave it to Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh to figure out a way to squeeze in a quick day at the gym.
While on a recruiting visit in Florida, Harbaugh took advantage of the Jesuit High School weight room in Tampa. In a dress shirt, nice pair of slacks and some comfortable tennis shoes, the Michigan leader and B1G champion hit the squat rack.
The school’s Twitter account published a photo of Harbaugh hitting the weight rack. So, this is evidence that he never skips leg day, even when on the recruiting trail.
For college coaches such as Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, life on the road recruiting can make it difficult to get in a daily workout.

That’s a pretty unique story itself. Not to worry, there’s still a little Michigan-Ohio State talk to address.
According to Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times, Jesuit’s JV football coach — who graduated from Ohio State — jokingly stated that Ryan Day had arrived at the school and cranked out 16 reps on the squat rack after Harbaugh totaled 15.
Harbaugh then proceeded to churn out 5 more reps, surpassing that fictional 16-rep total from Day. Mark that up as another victory for Michigan over Ohio State this year.
