Steps:

1. Stand with your feet slightly apart with shoulders flexed and arms straight out in front of the body.

2. Drive your left knee up toward your left hand, keeping your toes pointed up toward your shin, and explosively extend your leg back toward the ground.

3. Rapidly repeat the movement with your right leg and continue the static run for the specified amount of time.
