    Skipping + carioca = Skippioca dynamic warm up

    DateTuesday, July 13, 2010 at 10:42AM

    I learned some fantastic locomotion patterns from Todd Wright from the University of Texas basketball program.

    As a part of the dynamic warm routine it important to stimulate both the mind and the body and even the spirit. These movement patterns will do exactly that, they will challange the coordination, make you focus, build your athleticism and make you laugh in the process.

    Here is a short sample of one locomotion pattern called skippioca, which combines the movements of carioca and skip. Try them out. I felt ridiculously uncoordinated myself in the beginning but I am getting better and so are my athletes.

    Thank you Todd!
