How to do it

  1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, chest up, and core braced.
  2. Jog lightly in place, bending one knee and kicking that heel up to touch or come close to your glute.
  3. Quickly lower that foot and repeat the motion with the opposite leg.
  4. Keep your thighs pointed toward the floor throughout, driving the movement from the knee rather than the hip.
  5. Pump your arms in a relaxed running rhythm and stay on the balls of your feet.
  6. Continue alternating legs at a quick cadence for the desired amount of time.
