BeginnerNo equipmentHigh impactSuggested: 30 sec
How to do it
- Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms bent.
- Jog in place, bending one knee to kick that heel up toward your glutes.
- Land lightly on the ball of the foot as the other heel kicks up.
- Keep your knees pointing down and your arms swinging in rhythm.
Alternate sides with each rep.
Form tips
- Keep your thighs close to vertical so the bend comes from the knee.
- Stay on the balls of your feet for a quick, light rhythm.
