Instructions
1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and arms at your sides.
2. Engage your core and maintain a straight posture.
3. Perform a ‘sprinting’ motion by driving one knee up toward your chest while simultaneously swinging the opposite arm forward and the same-side arm back. The motion should mimic an exaggerated running movement.
4. Lift the driving knee as high as possible while keeping your balance, and push up onto the ball of the stabilizing foot to engage your calf muscles.
5. Hold the 'peak' sprinting position for 2-3 seconds, engaging your core, glutes, and leg muscles in this slow, controlled motion.
6. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat the motion with the opposite leg and arms.
7. Focus on slow, controlled movements to enhance muscle engagement and balance.
8. Complete the desired number of repetitions for each leg before resting, typically 8-10 repetitions per leg for 2-3 sets.
This exercise simulates the movement of sprinting but is done in slow motion to focus on the activation of muscles and to incorporate a balance challenge. It can improve power, stability, and coordination, making it beneficial for athletes or those looking to enhance their functional fitness.
