What It Is
A gentle warm-up that lifts each knee high as you walk, loosening your hips and getting you ready to move.
How to Do It
Stand tall with your arms at your sides. Step forward and lift one knee to hip height, swinging the opposite arm. Lower that foot and lift the other knee on the next step. You need about 15 feet of clear floor. Switch sides each rep.
Skill Level

Type
Mobility. Moves your joints through their range to warm up and loosen stiff areas.
Engagement
