Step 1
Start out with a stretching routine before you do the "Load It" exercise in field drills to avoid injury. Remember to stretch out both your upper and lower body, as well as arms and feet. Jog in place or jump up and down gently to warm up.
-
Step 2
Stand in an open area in a sports field (or another safe area where you have plenty of room to move.) Try to do the "Load It" exercise in field drills on a track or a field maintained for sports if possible. Look for holes in the ground and remove objects that can cause you to trip if you're in an open field or yard.

Step 3
Begin lifting your knees up and down as you travel to the side while still facing forward. Jog sideways to the left first and "Load It" on the outside leg. Step way out and shift your weight to the outer leg while holding up the inside leg to end. Keep your upper body centered with an engaged core. Jump to the right next and begin to jog sideways again in the opposite direction. Repeat the same pattern to do the Load It exercise in field drills.
-
Step 4
Take about three sideways jogging steps each time before you Load It on the outer leg in each direction--use a one-two-three and pause count. Move forward once you've done the "Load It" exercise on each side and continue on with the same drill. Repeat several times until you've moved up about ten to 20 feet. Jog forward a few feet and start the drill again.
