Workout Drills For Speed

Training for strength, endurance or both? The advantage of including agility drills to your workout program can take your game to the next level. All competitors can benefit from developing quick feet, and improving on their response time, and this is exactly what Speed, Agility, and Quickness  drills enable you to accomplish.

A key factor in getting faster is getting stronger. If you have quick feet but no strength to move them you are not going to be able to propel your body as far.

Today’s workout goes through quick feet and strength drills in order to help you get faster! Watch the video below.

1. Start with resistance band sprints straight through the ladder
2. Resistance band two feet into the middle one foot out lateral steps
3. Resistance sprint (partner holds your shirt for 5 meters lets go then you take off for 5-10 meters
4. Stability Lunges (hold the weight on one side) great for building strength  in your legs and stability in your abs.

How to Get Faster?

1. Get Stronger – You need to be strong in order to create more force as your legs hit and push off the ground
2. Get Mobile – Mobility is very key for speed. Do you have any limitations hindering the full range of motion of your muscles involved in sprinting?
3. Train for Speed with the workout above

One of the faults people have when they are trying to get faster is they may only focus on one factor of speed training instead of making an all around plan.  Don’t make this mistake take your time, train smart and you will see results.
