How to do Sprinter
Back to ExercisesInstructions
Stand on some flat ground and bend your elbows to approximately 90 degrees and keep that at this angle during the exercise. Raise one arm up and lift the opposite foot up at the same time so that your knee comes up to the same height as your hips. Quickly hop from one foot to the other and at the same time swing your front arm back and the other arm forwards and up. As soon as you land onto the other foot, repeat this process of hopping and swinging your arms continuously for the duration of the exercise.
Keep your head up and look forwards towards a fixed point as this will improve your posture and keep you running on the same spot. Aim to achieve a fast sprinting pace and avoid holding your breath during the movements.
