If you’re looking for another way to spice up your workout routine, why not try adding some agility training? Changing directions with your body, by rapidly using a combination of coordination and speed, defines agility training.

I use agility training not only for my athletes, but for all age groups. We are led to believe that agility training is solely for the super fit; however, that’s not the case at all. Sure, on the athletic field, agility helps athletes change directions more efficiently as well as reduces their chance of injury. But off the field, agility training improves balance, reflexes and endurance, making it a great exercise for everyone. Best of all, it’s different, enjoyable, works multiple muscle groups and requires very little equipment.

The above video uses mini-hurdles and an agility ladder to demonstrate some basic agility training exercises. Agility training can be done with equipment as simple as a jump-rope or a drawn line on an athletic field or a few cones. You can truly do it anywhere! Get creative! What fun ways do you put agility training into practice? Please post below in the comments section. For any questions, contact us at pptswellness.com.
