High Knees
Run on the spot bringing the knees above hip height; fast feet, tall posture.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, arms ready to pump.
Steps
- Run on the spot, knees above hip height.
- Land on the balls of the feet, fast contacts.
- Pump the arms in rhythm.
Common mistakes
Leaning back to lift the knees: tall torso, knees to the chest. Heavy flat feet: quick and springy. Knees fading below the hips: height is the standard.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
