Instructions
Begin by running at a moderate pace to warm up. The focus is on continuous motion to raise your heart rate and increase blood flow to the muscles. Running can be performed outdoors or on a treadmill.
After your set time of running (e.g., 5-10 minutes), transition to half knee bends: Stand straight with feet shoulder-width apart. Engage your core and keep your upper body upright. Slowly lower your body by bending your knees, but only go halfway down compared to a full squat. Push through your heels and return to the starting position, completing one repetition.
Perform a set number of half knee bends (e.g., 10-15 reps), then transition back to running.
Continue to alternate between running for a set duration and performing half knee bends for your desired number of sets or total workout time.
Throughout your workout, it's essential to maintain proper form to avoid injury and to maximize the benefits of the exercise. Remember to keep your movements controlled and to breathe consistently.
