High Knees Overview
High knees might seem like a simple exercise to perform, but doing just a few sets of this high-energy move will get your heart pumping, and activate your lower body and core muscles.
What’s more, high knees can serve as a warmup, cardio between resistance training exercises, or part of a high-intensity interval training workout.
How to Do it
- Stand tall with your feet almost hip-to-shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides.
- Looking straight ahead, open your chest, and engage your core muscles.
- Begin by bringing your right knee toward your chest, slightly above waist level. Simultaneously, move your left hand up in a pumping motion.
- Quickly lower your right leg and left hand.
- Repeat with your left leg and right hand.
- Alternate your right and left leg for the desired time.
Tips on High Knees
- Take 30-60 seconds off after a set.
- If you can't handle high speed, you can do it slowly
