You're talking about stamina. From wikipedia: Agility is the ability to change the body's [url]position[/url] efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of [url]balance[/url], [url]coordination[/url], [url]speed[/url], [url]reflexes[/url], [url]strength[/url], [url]endurance[/url],and stamina. In [url]sports[/url], agility is described in terms of response to an opposing player, moving target, as seen in field sports and racket sports. Sheppard and Young (2006) define agility as "a rapid whole body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus."
No problem mate... you can do it now if you want... Great thing about shadow boxing / burpee intervals is that they can be done anywhere... at home... in your room... at the gym... in a field... where ever. All you need is yourself and enough space to jump and come down into a press up position.
hey RDJ I know exactly what agility is but read his initial post... I think he got his wording wrong: If you are looking to get in 'shape' you don't do agility drills. Agility drills would be ladder work / cone work / small hurdles / footwork drills / etc.
I was asking advice in agility, but in reality any good advice that's related to what I'm looking for I'll take in consideration. :good
If it is agility you are after you should keep it sports specific and skill oriented. Ladder drills won't do much good on how you move in the ring.
Like RDJ said, for my sport (Muaythai) ladded drills do help because we obviously switch our feet, move our feet and need very, very good co-ordination... I'd still say look into it, even if just for a warm up, ladder drills are fun and will make your feet faster. Agility... brendan Ingle famously doesn't let anyone punch a single thing until they have mastered their foot movements on his specially laid out lines and circles (look them up... I think there is a post on here). I'd say just work on footwork with your coach, pivoting, punching and then pivoting, pivoting after someone punches you... Like RDJ said... keep it specific until you master the basics.
Sports like basketball, hockey, and tennis require a great deal of agility. It's a little funner and it's thinking "outside of the box". Your boxing specific training will inadvertently train your agility by doing things like sparring and pad-work.
first theres one drill called Xs put five dots on the ground in the shape of an X one in the middle two on top two on bottomstart wit ur two feet at the bottom dot shoulder width apart now jump with both feet landing on the middle dot then jump again too the top dots shoulder width apart turn and land then do this over and over working on speed and form ur agility we be like a gizzelle
Indeed I did, because nothing will improve his agility in the ring more than sports specific exercise.
