How to do Power Skip
Back to ExercisesInstructions
From a standing start, lift your right knee and swing your left arm forward and up whilst at the same time hopping on your left leg. As your left land lands, lower your right knee and swing your left arm back. At the same time shift your weight onto your right leg as you skip feet and raise your left knee, swing your right arm forwards and hop off your right foot. Continue this flowing skipping motion for the required duration.
Aim to keep your back straight and upright during the exercise and engage your core.
