Ladder Drills

Agility is your ability to change positions quickly, using quick, controlled movements. For those that hate cardio machines, this is a fun, fast-paced and constantly changing exercise. This helps improve your functional movements, which you use on a daily basis. It improves the rate your muscle contracts, which as you get older it decreases. It will improve your balance and your balance in motion for when you need to react quickly. You can do this at home and if you don't have a ladder you can create one yourself. Use chalk, rope, spray paint or even rocks to lay out your path (just be careful). By the time you know it you will be sprinting through these drills like you are a professional football player.
