Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- concentration
-
Step 1
Run leaning slightly forward from the hips.
-
Step 2
Run bending your elbows 90 degrees and swing them at your sides, not crossing in front of your body.
-
Step 3
Run looking about 20 yards ahead as you go.
-
Step 4
Run landing on your forefoot- not on your heel or toes- and lift each foot quickly off the ground to keep your heels from making contact.
-
Step 5
Take steps that are no more than 75% of your usual stride. To speed up, increase your steps per minute, not your stride length.
