Power skips

Skipping for height with a big knee drive and arm swing. It teaches you to push hard into the ground and transfer the force upwards.

Dose
3 × 20 m
Rest
60 s

How to do it

  1. Skip forward, and on each skip push the ground away hard with the standing leg.
  2. Drive the opposite knee and arm up high, as if reaching for something above you.
  3. Land softly on the ball of the foot and go straight into the next skip.

Tips

  • Go for height, not distance.
  • The arm swing lifts you: swing it high and fast.
