How to perform

Step forward, heel striking first. Keep toes elevated and pointed upward. Maintain a tall posture and controlled movement, focusing on shin contraction.

Tips

Focus on lifting your toes towards the ceiling throughout the entire step to maximize shin engagement and prevent ankle rolling. Stand tall with a balanced posture, engaging your core to maintain stability and prevent leaning forward or backward. Take short, controlled steps to ensure proper form and avoid overextending your shins, which can lead to injury. Actively drive through your heel with each step to initiate the shin contraction and propel yourself forward.
