Agility - 7 Essential to a well balance routine!


My new word today is "Agility" because it means the ability to change the body's position efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, endurance, and stamina.

This word kept coming up during my Capoiera position research. So I decided to divert a moment and look up the meaning. Once again the meaning shocked me because this is the true balance of exercising. Building agility should be the foundation for putting a workout routine together. To have a well balanced workout routine there must be balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, endurance, and stamina.

I believe my routine this month covers all 7 of these agility essentials. Capoiera for sure covers them all. Yoga - covers balance. Step - covers coordination/reflexes. Cycling - covers speed. Weight lifting - covers strength. Putting them all the together helps improve endurance and stamina.

Exercise tomorrow: Yoga
