ADD WEIGHT BELT / WEIGHTED VEST FOR ADDED RESISTANCE
A weighted belt or weighted vest can be worn for added resistance when performing any of these drills. Do not add more resistance until you have mastered the drills using only your body weight.
TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
Use the Pro Agility Ladder for agility exercises before strength training if both are to be done on the same day. Perform agility and foot quickness workouts before doing resistance running or plyometrics. This will allow the athlete to effectively perform agility training before any muscle fatigue occurs. Perform 2-3 Pro Agility Ladder workouts per week. Allow 48-72 hours between workouts to reduce the incidence of Overtraining Syndrome. Select 4-6 drills for each workout. Perform 3-5 sets of each drill. Keep the total number of sets per workout under 20. Allow sufficient recovery between each set so that maximum effort can be given to the drill.
