2 in 2 out drill for quick foot action

Get those feet moving! NO, you don't use skate in your dryland training, however you can still get your feet 'ice quick' by training how well your feet react to the ground as you perform different drills.

The Quickness Ladder is ideal for teaching these quick response movements with a great drill called 2 in 2 out. The drill involves moving down the length of the Quickness Ladder forward stepping into the ladder square one foot at a time, then outside one at a time.

Here are some tips:
  1. use arm action to make your feet move
  2. take your stick with you!
  3. stay on you power pads
  4. focus on light controlled steps
  5. play 'hot potato' with the ground, by not keeping your feet in contact with the ground too long

The Quickness Ladder is a fantastic tool for dryland training available at ProPowerTraining.com.
