- Make sure to bring your foot all the way down to the ground before moving in the opposite direction.

All of these exercises can be performed indoors or outside. If you don't have access to a plyo box, you can use a park bench. Also, if you don't have an agility ladder, you can get creative and use chalk marks or tape on the carpet or cement to make your own ladder. These equipment substitutions will work just as well, and are an inexpensive way to get an amazing workout.
