High knee run – similar to running in place with a small degree of forward movement. Actively warm up the hamstrings as well as move the quads through full range of motion. Heel ups – shifts emphasis from the hip flexors to the hamstrings. No emphasis on height or speed only rhythmic action. Extend the hip of the supporting leg while rising up on the toes.Ī-skip – gentle skipping designed to put the hip musculature into action. High knee walk with external rotation – grasp the shin (instead of the knee) with a double overhand grip and pull the shin to waist height.
Extend the stepping leg and get up on the toes. High knee walk – stepping forward, grabbing the shin of the opposite leg and pulling the knee towards the chest. DYNAMIC WARM UP (Perform before each conditioning session)
