Suicides aka Liners




Good morning friends. Here is an exercise I call Suicides. It’s a cone drill I use to benefit my speed, agility, and quickness. This exercise benefits from improved balance, quicker feet, faster reaction time which is what speed, agility, and quickness drills help one achieve. Speed is referred to how quick your arms and legs move as fast as possible in a straight line. Agility is the ability to change direction quickly and effectively. Quickness refers to your body's reflexive reaction. This cone drill is 5 yards by 10 yards 17 yards. Start with the first cone run to second cone and then run back to the first. Start with the first again, run to the third cone and then back to the first. Repeat again with the first cone, run to the fourth cone and then back to the first. 3 repetitions equals one set. Repeat for 3 sets and these can done a few times after a weight training set to bring up the heart rate!
