Instructions
1. Attach a resistance band or suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above head height. Put on the harness or handle, if applicable, or hold the ends securely.
2. Stand facing away from the anchor point, with feet shoulder-width apart. Walk out so there is tension on the band when you lean forward and adopt a sprinter's stance.
3. Bend your knees slightly, hinge at the hips keeping your back straight, and lean into the resistance band with a forward angle.
4. Begin the exercise by driving one knee up toward your chest while simultaneously propelling the opposite arm forward in a sprinting motion.
5. Quickly switch to the other leg and arm, mimicking a high-intensity sprinting action against the resistance.
6. Continue to alternate legs and arms in a rapid, controlled fashion for the prescribed duration, distance, or number of repetitions.
7. Ensure that your core remains engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability.
8. When finished, carefully walk back towards the anchor to release the tension on the band before removing it.
