I'm all about getting BANG for your buck and this week I wanted to show you a total body workout using the agility ladder with my workout and video that I cleverly titled: Total Body Agility Ladder Workout. I know... I'm a literary genius. Anyway, for some reason when people think of agility ladder they hit a wall and think it's only good for upper body cardio training, not so friends, not so. So this week's workout includes cardio, strength, upper body, lower body and core! The full video is …
