This week we are working
with the speed ladder. The ladder works
speed/agility/quickness, which helps us deal with the uncertainties of everyday
life, like jumping out of the way of speeding cars, evading rogue Frisbees, or
catching the dog who thinks it is hilarious to change directions at the last
second. It’s also fun. If you don’t have access to a speed ladder,
don’t worry; use a hallway or a section of floor and pretend! The point is to work in all three planes of
movement: sagittal (front and back),
frontal (side to side), and transverse (twisting). If that still doesn’t appeal to you, feel
free to substitute a minute of your favorite cardio exercise. I will note that it takes about a minute for
most people to do ten burpees; doesn’t the speed ladder sound better now? As always, use your good judgment and work
with your body. Three rounds.
