10-yard knee lifts, round trip. This exercise activates the hip flexors and sets the rhythm for the drills.
Key points
- Frequency over height: Many short steps are better than three very high knees.
- Keep your hips high; land with your foot directly under your hip.
- Keep your arms at a 90-degree angle, moving through a full range of motion from the shoulder.
Common mistakes
- Chasing knee height and losing frequency.
- Sitting back in your hips: your hips drop, and your running form breaks down.
