Subject: the wall agility

Hello,
I was just wondering if there is a better technique to getting over the six foot wall? I got over all three , but missed my time by three seconds. How can I speed my time up so that i get over all three walls in under 15 seconds. i have been running, is there anything else. please help if possible.

There is no "one" technique that works for everybody. One technique may work for some while another technique works for others. Some run at the wall and then plant a foot on the wall as they jump to help propel themselves up and over. I’ve seen others jump or hop up at the bottom of the wall and use arm strength to pull themselves up and over. With most of the techniques, once you get up high enough, hook a leg over the wall and use your leg and arm strength to help pull your body over the wall. Watch others and practice several different ways to see what works best for you. Good luck.

running is one thing –

the wall is another…
practice on the wall just as much as you run.
My bet is you’ll see improvement in a weeks time!

Best of luck to you
