How to do it

  1. Stand tall and march forward with a controlled pace.
  2. Lift one knee out to the side with the hip already open, as if the gate starts open.
  3. Rotate that hip closed so the knee travels across the body toward the midline.
  4. Keep the torso upright and the standing leg stable.
  5. Step down and repeat on the other side, alternating as you walk.
