Setup

  • 7 “cones” in a line spaced 3 feet apart (They don’t need to be cones, you can use shoes, water bottles, fruits, rocks, whatever you have.)
  • One “rep” is to move between each set of cones for a total of 6 moves, then circle around the end cone.
  • One “set” is eight reps. There are nine sets you need to complete each session, below.

The Skills

Each title is a link to a YouTube video demo of the skill.

1) Right Foot In-N-Out

One set (Eight reps) weaving in between the cones with only the right foot, using the inside of the foot and then the outside.
