The Movement Workout
You'll need to get outside for this one. Using cones or shoes or whatever you've got handy, mark off a distance of about 25 yards. Some of you will recognize this as a variation on our dynamic warmups. But, we can also turn this into a full body workout. You'll do an agility exercise going from cone 1 to cone 2. You'll always jog/run from cone 2 back to the starting position at cone 1.
Start with 5 easy runs down and back, then:
High knees (jog back)
Butt kicks (jog back, you'll always jog back)
High knees double time
Butt kicks double time
