Bhagyashree is a fitness and health buff, and it shows in every post she shares on social media. It was no different this time as she demonstrated a “simple drill” to learn “how agile you are”. “I am going to show you a simple drill. Try and better yourself each time you do it. Concentration is the key. Show me how quickly you can move,” Bhagyashree captioned the post in which she is seen doing ladder drills. In the agility ladder drill, the 56-year-old is seen acing a 7-second challenge, moving rapidly through the ladder with coordinated footwork.

Explaining the exercise, fitness trainer Garima Goyal said, “It’s a simple routine, but it sends a powerful message: you don’t always need long workouts or heavy equipment to stay sharp, active, and energetic. Agility ladder work improves coordination, reaction time and joint mobility, all of which are fundamental to healthy movement as we age.”

Bhagyashree’s post challenges the notion that effective workouts must be long or intense. Goyal said that sometimes the most meaningful movement is short, sharp and consistent. “If each day you try to be a fraction quicker, more balanced and a little stronger than yesterday, you’re building resilience, vitality and long-term health one step at a time,” said Goyal.

From a wellness perspective, drills like this activate “fast-twitch muscle fibres, boost circulation, and enhance balance”. “They also make fitness feel accessible because anyone can attempt a quick ladder run at home, in a park or at the gym. By encouraging followers to ‘try and better yourself each time’, Bhagyashree reinforces the idea that fitness is about personal progress rather than comparison,” Goyal explained.

According to Goyal, when combined with sensible nutrition — enough protein, hydration, fresh vegetables and limited processed foods — agility training supports stronger muscles, quicker recovery and better overall functioning.

“The agility ladder drill she demonstrated highlights how small, consistent efforts can significantly improve speed, stability and long-term health. It’s an encouraging reminder that even a seven-second challenge can move you closer to better fitness every day,” Goyal shared.
