Notes for Week 1, Day 1

This workout is all about pushing yourself and getting out of your comfort zone. However, you must not sacrifice your form. Legendary coach John Wooden said it best when he said, "Be quick without hurrying."

Tips

- If you hear your feet pounding against the ground, you need to lighten your footwork. Challenge yourself to have light quick feet on every exercise.
- Pump your arms as you do the footwork exercises. This will help make you quicker.
- Do your best to keep your heels from touching the ground when doing these exercises.
