3 Fun Ways to Get in Shape with the Agility Ladder
Agility training is a unique kind of workout that offers high-intensity interval exercise, which burns calories faster. You can target fat quickly because agility training offers short intense activity that works better than low-intensity cardio exercises.
Agility ladder drills can help you meet the minimum 150 minutes a week of cardio guidelines recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
You can increase speed, quickness, and agility when you learn to accelerate, coordinate, and switch positions and directions in a short amount of time. No gym membership needed! Agility is a valuable ability that can enhance other skills needed for strength training, dance, or Pilates.
