Agility refers to your ability to change direction safely and quickly. It is absolutely essential to sports performance and critical to keeping your body from getting injured.

For example, poor agility is one of the #1 reasons people get sprained ankles… i.e. if your body cannot change direction safely, your ankle can easily take too much force and strain from an unexpected movement, then stretch too far and damage the ligaments in the ankle, foot or calf. Of course, this applies to all the other joints in the body too!

But if you have good agility, you will be able to move powerfully and efficiently, and then, when the time comes to change direction, you will be able to do it safely and quickly.

So, how do we increase agility to improve performance and protect against injury? And how do we do it in a safe, progressive way, so you can increase your agility step by step and get all the benefits without the dangerous risks or pitfalls that most people fall into when training?

How Do You Improve Agility?

Agility is a powerful combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, and endurance. If any one of these links in the chain is weak, your agility will suffer. For example, if you have great balance, but no strength, you will not be able to change direction safely, since your body will not be able to decelerate safely.

Think of it like the brakes on a car. Your muscles have to be able to decelerate the motion from the movement and then quickly generate power to get you going in another direction.

Now, if you have great strength, but poor balance, then even though you can generate power, you will simply fall when the time comes to change direction.

The good news is that by doing the right kind of exercises and training correctly, you will naturally hit all of these crucial areas at the same time without even thinking about it.

How to Train Agility

You have to take things step by step… there is no skipping any part if you want great results. Why? Remember that agility requires a powerful combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, and endurance.

So, if you want to be safe, the key is to start with foundational movements, do them properly (that means activating the right muscles), and then move into more challenging exercises.

First, you want to start with learning how to activate the big muscle groups that are most responsible for acceleration and deceleration. This is the gas and brake… Once, you know how to activate them, then you need to strengthen them. Go slowly and don’t rush it…

At the same time, you also need to break up old knots and improve flexibility, so your muscles have healthy range of motion and can move safely. Think about your muscles like rubber bands… you want them to be able to stretch safely without snapping.

After you are strong and stable, you will want to challenge your balance, coordination and reflexes, so that you can react to your surroundings and change direction without falling or getting hurt.

Finally, you will want to introduce speed and endurance in order to create a sports-like environment and make sure you can do everything safely at full speed.

What Exercises Improve Agility?

Now that you understand the progression of training, you want to mirror that with exercises too. Let me give you a simple example…

If you were to start working with a great exercise like the split squat, you would begin without any weight and probably holding onto something for balance. You want to make sure you go slowly and use great form (i.e. your knee does not bend forward and activate your glutes, etc.).

At the same time, it will be important to improve flexibility in your hips, legs and calves.

Once, you are able to do the split squat with great form and do not need to lean on anything for balance, it is time to progress…

The best way to do that for the next step would be to simply add weight. A great way to do that would be to do the kettlebell split squat. This will help you increase strength and stability safely and slowly. As time goes on, add more weight.

Once, you feel strong and stable, then it is time to start testing your balance, coordination and reflexes. A great way to do that would be to start doing lunges and then move into walking lunges and finally, do multi-directional lunges. You can add in extra difficulty by challenging your reactions… for example, you can having someone throw a ball to you (or throw it to yourself) while doing lunges, so you have to react.

Finally, if you really want to challenge your speed and endurance, move into different kinds of jumping lunges.

Obviously, there is a fair amount more that goes into a detailed program to improve the entire body, but this should give you a great overview to improving agility. It is well worth the effort, since great agility is absolutely necessary for quality performance and you want to make sure you minimize your risk of injury!

If you want to heal your ankle fully & fast…

And get back to doing what you love PAIN-FREE, without the fear of re-injury

This will be the most important thing you ever do for yourself.

Here’s why:

My name is Scott Malin and fifteen years ago, I had to give up what I love… playing basketball. It literally crushed me to give it up!!

But, I had sprained my ankles so many times that I could no longer play.

Every time it happened, I used R.I.C.E. (rest, ice elevation, compression), but my ankles took months to heal and just kept getting weaker and more painful.

I tried everything, including ankle braces, but they made my ankles even weaker and then my knees started hurting too!

When I sprained my ankle one last time and had to crawl off the court, I knew I was done.

That night, I sat in my apartment and cried.

I was in my early thirties and thought I had to give up what I loved for the rest of my life.

But, I had no other option…

My ankles were just way too weak, stiff and unstable and painkillers/ice did nothing anymore.

As I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, I remembered back to when I trained with a clinician for the National Academy of Sports Medicine and Soft Tissue Therapist for the Los Angeles Clippers.

I also thought about a revolutionary Naturopath that taught me so much about healing the body naturally.

Then, I came up with a crazy idea…

It instantly improved how my ankle felt.

And the more I did it, the better my ankle got.

By day 6, my ankle was 100% pain-free and felt stronger and more stable than BEFORE I got injured.

The best part… I PLAYED BASKETBALL AGAIN, BUT THERE WAS NO PAIN!!

Afterward, I cried again, but they were tears of joy!!

When I told them what I did, my basketball buddies laughed and said I was crazy.

They called me a “dreamer”.

But, I didn’t care.

Because I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I threw my ankle braces away.

After months of late nights, early mornings, and lots of trial and error…

I created a complete, at-home healing system with incredibly reliable results:

  • Heals new ankle injuries including ANY type and grade of ankle sprain.
  • Heals old ankle injuries that never fully healed.
  • Heals weak and unstable ankles.
  • Even heals most Achilles, calf and foot injuries!

Since I was a fitness trainer, I was able to help all my clients (celebrities and athletes) whenever they got injured (which happened a lot!).

I was even on the news a few times!!!

The response from my clients was so overwhelming that a few of them eventually convinced me to make it available to everyone.

And even though it is incredibly complete, I always wanted to keep it SUPER simple and easy to do.

So, just follow along with me on any device and that’s it!

You get instant access to all the videos, which are short and focused on quickly giving you the information you need.

I will show you the absolute BEST rehab techniques, exercises, stretches, activations, holistic techniques, prehab techniques, etc….

These are techniques you will NOT find online anywhere else.

You will learn the perfect form for everything to get the best possible results.

It has taken many years of incredibly hard and dedicated work, but I am so humbled that over 100,000 people have healed themselves fully and fast with my program.

If you don’t believe me, please, check out all the reviews, including video testimonials, before and after pictures, etc. from people of all ages.

And listen, I know you’re probably still skeptical. That’s totally fair…

That’s why we have a very simple, no hassle, 30 day money back guarantee, so it’s completely risk-free to give it a try right now.

I created this program, because I don’t want others to go through all the pain and misery that I did!!

I don’t want anyone else to give up what they love…

Life is too short!!!

And now, there’s an easy way you can heal yourself and get back to your life.

I wish you all the best and thank you!!

Just got your videos for the holistic rehab the other day. It has already helped and I am so grateful as I know Drs want to cut you open and ask questions later. My left ankle is very badly sprained, completely black and purple and swollen half way up my calf. I am an athlete and have zero intentions of being cut on now or in the future! It was a major eversion off a curb and I just want it to get back to normal. Thanks so much for putting this HEM ankle rehab together, it's a godsend! Have a beautiful day.

Hello Mr. Malin,

I want to thank you for this website. In the end of november, I sprained my ankle and my doctor said that there is an avulsion fracture in my ankle(ATFL). I had really hard times after this incident. When I was looking for how to heal fast, I saw your website. I tried to do as much as different exercises that you showed. Now I face some difficulties during my daily life due to my foot but swelling is decreasing everyday thanks to exercises. Especially, the video about how to activate ankle is very beneficial for me.

Thanks for your support both mentally and physically.

Sincerely,
Orhun Oktar, Electrical and Electronics Engineer
