Abstract: Methods and devices for use in shuttle drills. The exercise device includes a base having a plate and a central vertical member configured to receive blocks retrieved during a shuttle drill, and several blocks configured to be placed at varying distances from the base and to be picked up by a participant and stacked on the base. The method includes placing blocks of varying colors at varying distances from a base that has a plate and a central vertical member. A participant is instructed to run to the block closest to the base, pick up the block closest to the base, run back with the block to the base and stack the block around the central vertical member, and to repeat the running, picking up, and running back steps until there are no more blocks to be picked up and all blocks are stacked around the central vertical member.
