Straight-Leg Bound

1 - Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides.
2 - Brace your core and keep your legs mostly straight with only a slight natural bend in the knees.
3 - Drive one leg forward and upward while forcefully extending through the opposite hip, ankle, and foot to bound forward.
4 - Land on the ball of the lead foot with the leg still relatively straight, keeping the torso upright and posture tall.
5 - Immediately push off the ground and alternate legs, using a strong arm swing to help generate rhythm and forward momentum.
6 - Continue bounding forward for the prescribed distance or number of repetitions while maintaining quick ground contact and controlled mechanics.
7 - Stop if your posture collapses, your knees begin bending excessively, or you lose coordination.
