Drills are a great way of incorporating speed into your fitness training, if you play sport there are many team drills that can imitate the game that you play.
If training individually you can set yourself time limits on given activities such as a a 15-30 second sprint, decreasing the time in which you run an increasing distance.
Agility is the ability to precisely and quickly change direction or body position.
Being agile requires the use of a combination of skills:
