1 - Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, arms relaxed at your sides.
2 - Begin jogging forward with an exaggerated skipping motion, driving one knee up to hip height.
3 - As the knee reaches its peak height, forcefully extend (paw back) that leg downward and backward, driving the foot into the ground beneath your hip.
4 - Simultaneously drive the opposite arm forward in a running arm swing to maintain rhythm and balance.
5 - As the extended foot contacts the ground, hop slightly off the stance foot and repeat the movement on the opposite leg.
6 - Continue alternating legs in a rhythmic, fluid skipping motion while moving forward.
7 - Focus on an aggressive downward foot strike, keeping your posture upright and core engaged throughout.
