Medicine Ball Training (Part 2)

 And now for the HARD part!
Remember - you only get out of an exercise what you are willing and able to put into the exercise!

 

Agility Drill: Drills for After warm-up

Try some of these after you've warmed up and done your basics. Always good to have some new drills to work at to keep things fresh! 

 

Agility Star Drill

This is a GREAT clip! No fancy shoes or tracksuits...no flash training field....just some cones, some committed trainers trying to get better and a MANIC coach screaming at them! LOVE IT! WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE FIX HIS CONE?!!!!

 

Ladder and Hurdle Drill

Filed in:

These guys are not just focussing on the technique - they are also trying to do each drill - and every rep of each drill - as fast as possible.

Something to measure your performances against! KEEP WORKING!!

 

Sprinting Technique Drills

Some more demonstrations of drills....sorry about the music. Turn the sound down and just read. Lookn at the bounding stuff and practise it on yor own...arm in lines not across your body!

 

 

 

 

Swiss Ball Stretches

 

In training there is always "more than one way to skin a cat"! Use this routine to warm down or before a workout. It falls somewhere between a static and a dynamic stretch.

Another very informative video.

 

 

 

The Top 10 Stability Ball Exercises

 

Variety is essential in your training program! Using a swiss ball occassionally instead of your "normal" workout can keep you focussed and help keep training interesting. Many coaches use these - including my classes at Activate.
