Why it helps your running

- nothing: just your bodyweight
How to do it
- Skip forward: one knee drives up to hip height while the other foot bounces once off the ground.
- The landing foot claws the ground under your hips, on the forefoot.
- Arms work in opposition, elbows at 90°, chest tall.
Common mistakes
- Leaning your torso back to lift the knee.
- Foot landing in front of your body and braking.
- Arms crossing in front of your chest.
