Let's talk AGILITY!

What is it??

the ability to change directions quickly without straining your muscles or stressing your joints.
not just a skill for athletes.
definitely not something you get “too old” for so long as you continue to move independently.

“Cassie, I just can’t keep up! It’s not even ‘cause I’m outta breath, I just can’t move that fast!!”

I hear ya! Try these tips & see if you’re able to speed up! ;-)

Stay grounded!! As counter-intuitive as that may seem, in order to move so fast it looks like they’re floating, athletes are literally using the ground as the equal & opposite force that allows them to propel themselves with the amount of power & speed that they do. Stay grounded.
Staying grounded means bending your knees to keep your center of gravity low.
Bending your knees means you should be hinging your hips - booty back, head forward, spine straight - so that your center of gravity is centered over your feet. If your center of gravity gets too far in front of/behind your feet, you’ll be off balance & unable to move as swiftly.
Engage your lats [un-shrug your shoulders] & pull your abdominals tight so that you’re not puffing your rib cage out.
BREATHE!!!

NOTE: if jumping is too much impact on your joints, replace the Squat Jack + Jumping Jack Combo with regular, bodyweight squats.

This workout is TOUGH - but so are you ;-) It's time to work!
