Stand with your feet just wider than your hips, and bend your knees. Keep your back straight, your chest up, and your eyes forward. Shift your weight to the balls of your feet and extend your ankle to hop just high enough to leave the ground. As you make contact with the ground, hop again, and drive one knee up. Extend your leg out in front of you with a 90-degree bend in your knee, and point your toes forward. As you drive a knee up, raise your opposite arm in a mock running motion. With one leg raised in front of you, hop again with just your opposite leg. Quickly drive your raised leg back toward the ground, and land in unison with your one-foot hop. With both feet, hop again, and drive the same knee up. This time, drive your knee out to the side. With one leg raised in front of you, hop again with just your opposite leg. Quickly drive your raised knee back towards the ground, and land in unison with both feet. Hop again, driving your other knee up in front of you. Continue to alternate legs after performing both hops on that side.
Stay on the balls of your feet. Focus on rhythmic movement, proper knee height (90°), and strong arm drive. Keep core tight and maintain posture throughout.
