Lean against a hard wall as you alternately lift your left and right knee toward your chest at a slow pace.
If you’re in shape, you can perform this exercise at a higher speed, or you can choose to work from your toes only, rather than using your entire foot.
Focus on doing all 12 exercises – take your time in between exercises to catch your breath as well. Spend about 20 to 30 seconds on each exercise and take at least 15 seconds between exercises.
Once you have completed all 12 exercises, take a few minutes of rest. This is to recover from the exercises. Drink some water when you are thirsty and then repeat all the exercises one more time.
When you find yourself getting fitter, increase the duration of each exercise to about 30 to 45 seconds. If 30 seconds was too much, reduce the duration of the exercise to 20 seconds.
It is important to always warm up with some stretching exercises before starting this!
