How to do it

  1. Stand tall and march forward with a controlled pace.
  2. Lift one knee to about hip height, as if starting a high-knee march.
  3. Rotate that hip open so the knee travels out to the side, like opening a gate.
  4. Keep the torso upright and the standing leg stable.
  5. Step down and repeat on the other side, alternating as you walk.
