Left, Right, Up, Down, Back, Forward

Large space to run this drill.
1.      Get organized into several rows/columns evenly distributed (as to make a square). Trainer will stand in front of the group facing them.
2.      The trainer will call out Left, Right, Up, Down, Back or Forward instructing the clients what to do. Left, Right, Back and Forward indicate directions the clients should run and Up means tuck jump and Down means a pushup. Group should be facing forwards at all times.
3.      Group keeps moving for 3-5 minutes and then either repeat or increase the difficulty.
4.      Also the exercise may change depending on the trainers view of perceived exertion.  Other exercise demanded may be squat jumps, jumping jacks, get ups, dive bomber push-ups and more 
Making it harder: To make this more difficult and to get the groups brains working, we might try ‘opposites’ where the group has to do the opposite of what I say. Or I may try the drill in silence and just use my hands to give directions.  Anyone who screws up the formation or the repetitions of the exercise will add additional reps to the exercises for the entire group.
This routine is to focus on agility, endurance, and cardio capacity.
Thank you,
Theo Tilton
