Skips for Distance

• A series of skips and hops that you can do anywhere anytime
• Exaggerate running motion to improve biomechanics and running coordination
• Practice proper running technique in a controlled setting.
• Drive your arms back while simultaneously driving your hips forward to get maximum whole-body engagement during your gait cycle

Purpose

• Strengthen your ankles and lower leg (soleus)
• Teach your body how to balance (coordination) and maintain good posture through the running gait cycle
• Use your arms to counterbalance your leg drive to maintain a stable running throughout the gait cycle
