Cone Drills

Strength Training
3 x 5's

MetCon
Today's "metcon" wasn't traditional cardio, yet it was definitely metabolic conditioning.  Like with stair sprints, we were working on your ability to go hard and fast for a short duration.  The total work time was so short and the rest periods sufficiently long that cardio wasn't the limiting factor.  We were training your muscles to contract quickly.  And we were simultaneously training your footwork and agility (defined as ability to change direction quickly).  AND we were having fun!

Warm-up: 0:40 shuttle sprints

Cone drills:
3x sprint forward, shuffle R, sprint backwards, shuffle L

  1. This was totally fun and a great way to mix things up! I was definitely sucking wind by the time we finished. Benjamin loved it, too...Thanks Russell for taking the time with him!
