This is a pivot move on one foot with a layup jump over the ladder. You should also alternate which side of the ladder you run up after each rep.ĭon’t feel like you have to jump as high as Shaun T.

You need enough space to run around the agility ladder and jump back and forth over it. The Asylum, Game Day will be easier to do if you have slightly more room than I usually recommend. My rating– A The Important Stuff about The Asylum Game Day TIP-If you get a pull-up bar make sure you purchase a pull-up assist band, too There’s an option to do a push-up move instead.

** You don’t have to have a pull-up/chin-up bar. *If you don’t have an agility ladder you can tape off an area on the carpet that’s roughly the same size and do all of the exercises in the boxes of tape, OR if you’re on a tiled floor you can use four 12 x 12 tiles in a row as your ladder You can get more information about that here.Įquipment- agility ladder*, pull-up bar**, mat This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.
