Fast Fitness - Run Faster

Running drills called "ashi" (foot or feet) were an important part of Ninjutsu physical training. Try this basic Ninja ashi, or running drill:
- Put a straw hat on your chest.
- Run without holding the hat with your hands or other fastening.
- Run so fast that the hat does not fall - this requires keeping a minimum speed for the duration of the ashi drill.
Where is the photo? He (or she - there were female Ninjas) must have run by so fast you didn't see. We are still working on the problem of photos not uploading. Healthline staffer Jerry has been helping to upload several photos for posts to come. Thankyou Jerry.

This is too funny! My son, who is 8 years old, loves to run. I bet he would be game for this training if I mention it to him!

Mary K, good work, thank you. Finding and enjoying healthy activity is great parenting. Click this link for Children. It gives all Fitness Fixer posts that help children's health, including many fun fitness and body movement games.
I see from your blog that you are an "expert obstacle remover." Fitness Fixer posts are designed to help that, and also apply to your work in the military. I look forward to your success stories using these methods.
