How to do it

  1. Run on the spot, driving each knee up to hip height with every stride - thighs reaching parallel to the floor, landing on the balls of your feet, arms pumping in running rhythm.
  2. Stay tall through your torso rather than leaning back to lift the knees, and keep the strides quick and light: it should feel like sprinting in place, not stomping.
