Top 5 Best Agility Training Workouts in our Facility

 Ladders

Ladder footwork is one of the most essential yet effective agility workouts you can do. Ladders help your footwork and makes athletes quicker on their feet. It also helps opening up the hip flexors and makes your groin and hips stronger and more prepared for gametime. It can help with being able to be balanced while performing fast agility movements. 

Lateral Plyometric Jumps

At our facility, we provide jump box drills. These drills consist of our athletes using their lower body strength to jump as high as they can onto a box. The purpose of this drill is to increase their jump height which will lead to strengthening their legs. Having athletes work on this will improve their acceleration and running on the field for the sport they play. Athletes on the field need to be as fast as possible in order to secure the win, this drill is a huge help in doing so.

Band Resistant Training

Bands are used heavily in our training because it provides tension when engaged in the workout, proving better muscle activation. This leads to performing at a higher level since in game you do not have this band resisting you. For band resistant training, we use it to help athletes do single leg jumps on the pull up bar while holding onto the band, we use it to hold back athletes as they try running away with the band holding them back, and we use it for upper body muscle activation like shoulders and back. These are just a few examples of our band workouts and why we use them.

High Knee Drills

Limitless Training also uses a lot of drills that involve simple bodyweight footwork. Our best example of this is the high knee drill. The high knee drill is used to push our knees has high as we can in a running position and to run in a straight line doing so. This drill helps athletes with speed and acceleration and will improve their game performance. It also engages their core and activates almost every muscle group in their body, making them have a full body muscle connection in one workout. The drill also helps with balance and keeping athletes on their toes at all times. 

Hurdles

Our staff and facility use mini hurdles to help with stability and agility footwork to improve their game performance. This drill is similar to ladders, as there are many drills within the hurdles. We make athletes do single leg jumps, side jumps, forward jumps, etc. The purpose of this drill is to increase athletes balance and stability while on the field of their sport. This drill teaches our athletes how to connect their mind with their muscle activation leading them to having more balance and stability.
