High Knee Skips
Equipment
Raise your right knee up towards your chest as high as you can, and at the same time, hop off your left foot.
As you land on your right foot, immediately bring your left knee up towards your chest and hop off your right foot.
Continue this alternating pattern of high knee skips, swinging your arms naturally as if you were running.
Maintain a brisk pace for the duration of your workout, and focus on lifting your knees high with each skip for the most effective exercise.
