That sounds great. What kind of equipment do I need to get started with agility training at home?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can start with basic equipment like tunnels, cones, and jumps. You can also use household items, such as cardboard boxes and broom handles, to create a mini obstacle course.<|im_end|>
