Mobility is essential! Proper mobility allows us to run more efficiently and lift more weight. 

This set of drills requires 4-10 hurdles and is a fun way to get your mobility work done. Also doubles as a GREAT warm-up!

Set the hurdles up at alternating heights, beginning with a low hurdle. Leading with your right leg, step over the first hurdle, pivot 90 degrees to the right, and then duck under the next hurdle. Repeat through all hurdles.

Over/Under (right leg lead)

Set the hurdles up at alternating heights, beginning with a low hurdle. Leading with your left leg, step over the first hurdle, pivot 90 degrees to the left, and then duck under the next hurdle. Repeat through all hurdles.

Over/Under (left leg lead)

Set all hurdles at the same height. Facing forward, step over first hurdle with right leg, follow with left. Step over second hurdle with left leg, follow with right. Continue through all hurdles while trying to maintain a tall, upright posture throughout.

Walk Through (forward)

Set all hurdles at the same height. Facing backward, step over first hurdle with right leg, follow with left. Step over second hurdle with left leg, follow with right. Continue through all hurdles while trying to maintain a tall, upright posture throughout. Really focus on trying to prevent your torso from turning side-to-side as you move through.

Walk Through (backward)

Set all hurdles at the same height. Facing forward, swing a straight right leg over first hurdle, follow with a straight left leg. Step over second hurdle with a straight left leg, follow with a straight right leg. Continue through all hurdles while trying to maintain a tall, upright posture throughout.

Straight Leg Walk Through (forward)

Set all hurdles at the same height. Facing backward, swing a straight right leg over first hurdle, follow with a straight left leg. Step over second hurdle with a straight left leg, follow with a straight right leg. Continue through all hurdles while trying to maintain a tall, upright posture throughout. 

Note: forgot to film this one! Please ignore the guy doing this one forwards again, it should be facing backward.

Straight Leg Walk Through (backward)

Set all hurdles at the same height. Facing sideways, and with a skipping rhythm, move laterally bringing right leg over the first hurdle, followed by left leg. Knees should be bent while moving over each hurdle. Continue through all hurdles while trying to maintain a tall, upright posture throughout.

Side Skips Bent Leg (right leg lead)
