Tuesday night classes and the Millard Bulldawgs

All of my speed and agility classes did an outstanding job on Tuesday. I think everybody probably learned a few new warmup exercises, and we worked a lot on our running form. Improving your form and being more efficient, is one way to improve your speed. We worked on our arm swings, our forward lean, our heads being relaxed, and a bunch of other stuff for different individuals. All of these things are easy to work on at home or at school, and you don't need a lot of space to practice them.

Here is the warmup routine for the Millard Bulldawgs(others can use this as well). Remember, I will run it again next week, and then we'll have the athletes start leading it after that.

Jog 2 laps, forward run/backpedal 2x, skips down and back, shuffles down and back.
Knee to Chest
Lunge to Straight Leg
Lateral Lunge
Leg Swings
Spidermans
Shuffles
Carioca
Power skips
A-Skips
Fast Leg
Falling Starts 2x
Domino Sprint 2x
