High knees
How to do it
- Stand upright, with your feet hip-width apart.
- Run in place, alternately lifting your knees as high as possible, toward hip level.
- Keep your torso upright and move your arms as in running, in rhythm with your legs.
- Land softly, on the balls of your feet, with every step.
Key to the execution: Lift your knees to hip level and land softly, on the balls of your feet.
Common mistakes
- You lean back instead of keeping your torso upright.
- You don't lift your knees high enough, turning the drill into ordinary jogging.
