    How to: Quick Feet Run

    1. Begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart.
    2. Quickly drive your knees up and alternately push your feet up and down.
    3. Keep your core engaged to maintain stability.
    4. Perform the exercise for a set duration, aiming for maximum foot speed.

    Common Mistakes

    • Overstriding, leading to unnecessary impact on joints.
    • Not using the arms for balance and propulsion.
    • Lack of breath control, leading to premature fatigue.

    Modifications

    • Perform at a slower pace if you're new to exercise.
    • Use a chair for support if balance is an issue.

    Tips

    • Keep your feet light and quick on the ground.
    • Maintain a slight forward lean for better balance.
    • Focus on moving your feet rapidly rather than taking large strides.
