Do More With: Agility Ladder
Athlete or not, the power- and speed-building agility ladder is worth including in your toolkit.
Do More With is a series highlighting equipment around the Club that can help you reach your fitness goals. In this installment, we highlight the agility ladder, available on the Club floor.
Unless you’re a pickleball enthusiast, regular on your Club’s basketball court, or athlete on a recreational sports team, agility training may not be your top priority.
But agility is simply moving quickly with coordination and control — and that’s a skill everyone can benefit from developing. One way you can strengthen it: Practice drills on the agility ladder.
Similar to a standard ladder, an agility ladder is designed with evenly spaced, flat rungs and can span anywhere from 10 to 30 feet. Instead of climbing, you’ll place this nylon ladder directly on the ground and step or hop between the plastic slats as quickly as possible. The barrier to entry is minimal. And it's so versatile, folks early on in their fitness journey, advanced members, and everyone in between can experience a challenging workout with the equipment.
