What it works

Legs

How to do it

  1. 1Take a long stride, back heel raised.
  2. 2Lower straight down until the back knee is just off the floor and the front shin is roughly vertical, then drive up through the front foot.
  3. 3Travel straight down, not forward — pushing the front knee far over the toes is the usual error.
