High Skips – Exercise of the Week
The High Skips exercise is a dynamic stretching exercise you can use before each of your workouts. Dynamic stretching is used to increase the range of movement, blood and oxygen flow to soft tissues prior to exertion and helps reduce the chances of injury.
- This exercise is used to not only warm-up but to develop correct leg and foot action in preparation for the foot strike with sprinting.
- The purpose of the high skip is to prepare the body for explosive running and sprinting.
- Perform this exercise by doing an explosive, exaggerated skip while emphasizing height rather than distance.
- Emphasize a big arm swing and explosive knee lift.
