Speed and Agility Warm up

Speed and Agility training takes alot of hard work and attention to detail, getting your body to train in a way that creates maximum performance.

Warming up for Speed and Agility training is important, since the training itself involves multiple movements in multiple directions in multiple ways (sprinting, shuffling, jumping, etc.)

Here are some warm up tips:

• Use Dynamic Warm up drills such as walking knee hugs, foot grabs to the rear, and forward/sideways/backwards lunges
• Get your blood and heart rate up using movements such as high knees, butt kicks, and lateral shuffles
• Joint warm up is important, so perform "bunny hops" (ankle hops) forward/backwards/lateral
• Use a warm up distance of about 10-15 yards
• Incorporate change of direction in your warm up drills (ex: shuffle ten yards, plant and sprint back to starting point)

Keep it creative and useful to your sport specific needs!
