Walking High Kicks

Purpose of this exercise: TO IMPROVE STRIDE QUICKNESS

The two basic components of overall speed are stride quickness and stride length. You increase stride frequency by moving your arms and legs faster. This exercise is designed to help you keep the proper form as you improve your stride quickness.

Technique

1.	Taking normal strides, kick leg up to maximum height, while keeping leg completely straight and your toes pointed up (dorsi-flexed.)
2.	Push off onto the ball of your foot, keeping the back leg straight.
3.	Pump your arms so that your hands go above shoulder level and swing back behind the hips.

CAUTIONS!!

•Your upper body slightly in front of your belly button.
•Keep your back straight, do not bend at the waist.
