Engage your core, shift weight to the planted leg. Explosively drive the opposite knee towards your chest, dorsiflexing the ankle. Push through the planted foot, using glutes and quads. Lower the raised foot with control, maintaining a forward lean and neutral spine. Repeat on the same or alternate side.
Initiate the movement by driving your hips forward powerfully to generate explosive upward momentum for your knee. Actively brace your core throughout the exercise to stabilize your torso and prevent excessive arching or rounding of the back. Focus on maintaining a straight line from your head to your heels, avoiding any twisting or bending at the waist. When landing, make contact with the ball of your foot to absorb impact and maximize power transfer. Keep your gaze fixed forward and maintain a neutral spine to ensure proper alignment and prevent strain.
