Shuttle Run Fun!!

This week in addition to the D-Shines lessons I would like for you all to try what is called the Shuttle Run. It is a quick cardio and agility running test in which you run and grab an object 10 or 15 meters away then return it to the starting line then go back the length of the test to retrieve a second object then sprint through to complete the test. So you start on a line, then run down and grab an object on the ground. It can be a ball or crumbled paper, pair of socks balled up, a building block or whatever you have available that you can grab. Time yourself using a stop watch or phone or even someone counting for you. Run the test a few times and comment or e-mail me your best time. You can run this test in your basement or in your driveway or on the sidewalk in front of your house. 10 meters is equivalent to 32 feet. If you try the 15 meter test it is equivalent to 49 feet.

Here is a visual example to see how it’s set up and run.
