High knees

How to do it:
• Do it for 30 seconds per set as intensively as you can (up to one minute)
• You’ll work out your upper legs (quads mostly), glutes, abs and gastrocnemius, soleus as well

• It can be a part of your HIIT or warm-up routine


Things to pay attention to:
• Your back should be straight
• Try to raise your knees as high as you can
• Do it at your maximum speed (as long as you don’t compromise your back – it should stay straight all the time)
• It is a very fast and exhausting exercise so it’s ok if you start with 10 seconds only and then gradually build up to 30-60 seconds per set
• Land on the front part of your foot (the pads behind your toes)
• Remember to breathe! It’s very easy to forget about it! 😊
