So do you even know what an agility ladder is? No, I don't mean the one you lean up against the house to do home repairs. The ladder I am referring to is the one that strength coaches like myself use for athletic performance. The ladder looks just like a ladder in its design except it is made up of plastic and a thread-like material. It is made of this material so you can lay it flush on the ground in order to perform speed and quickness exercises.
The cool thing about doing these type of agility ladder workout drills is that you can do them pretty much anywhere you have a little flat open space. Your front or back yard, a park, and the local high school football field all serve as great locations to implement the use of these type of drills. You can improve on your footwork and hand and eye coordination by doing high-knee runs, shuffles, and bounding drills through the rungs of the ladder. All of these drills should be executed with good running mechanics and form. They should also be done in an intense fashion to get the full benefit. Ladder drills are great and you can pretty much replicate them in a number of ways to execute both foot speed drills and agility ladder workouts. If you have a fairly long driveway or court and you don't want to spend the money to buy a ladder then you can simply create your own with some colored duct tape that you find at your local hardware store! If you go this route make sure the ladder at least 5 yards in length.
All in all, you will get a quick feel as to what real cardio is like when it comes to this type of training! Improve your performance now. Step up your training to get the results you want.
