Why it helps your running
Opens up hip mobility along your stride line, without forcing, so your leg can extend freely.
- You'll need
- a wall
- Tempo
- 1 s down, 1 s up
How to do it
- One hand on the wall, swing your free leg forward and back, going wider each time.
- Keep your torso upright: the range comes from the hip, not the back.
- Then switch to side-to-side swings, with the leg crossing in front of your body.
Common mistakes
- Your lower back arches to swing higher.
- Your standing foot shifts with every swing.
