Speed & Power Workout

By Patrick Beith

Speed and Power are the bread and butter of most sports. There are so many get quick 'quick' schemes out there for speed training it gets harder to tell what really works. Here is Athletes' Acceleration's very own structured Speed/Power day workout.

I. Dynamic Warm-up

  • 5-10 minute warm-up
  • Loose skip
  • Hurdle pushup
  • Backwards loose skip
  • Double leg plow

  • Leg swings (front & lateral)
  • Skips for height

  • Backwards run
  • Fast leg

Exercises can be added or subtracted depending on what the goal of the workout is, but all of our speed/power days will be in this outlined form. If we were doing a maximum velocity day (pure speed) our plyos would change because we would want to perform vertical plyos. Our core workouts change daily depending on what types of exercises we used the day before.
