General And Specifics
- this easy cardio exercise is great to warm-up
- if you do it for a longer period of time, you can activate your cardiovascular system and burn fat as in the Jogging
- it is not as intensive as regular jogging, because the range of motion is smaller and there is no wind resistance
Starting Position
- stand upright, the feet are hip width apart
- the upper body is straight
Correct Execution
- jog in place
- raise the knees one after the other and let the arms follow the motion
- the higher the knees, the more intensive the exercise (see High Knees In Place)
- softly land on the balls of your feet
- do this for a longer period of time
tips for the workout
- add short sprints to make the exercise more intensive
- use dumbbells, so that the core has to do more work stabilizing the upper body, or use weight cuffs for more resistance
