Stand tall with your feet close together on the balls of your feet and a soft bend in your knees. Begin jogging in place, lifting the knees as high as you can. Try to lift your knees up to hip level but be sure to keep your core braced to support your back. Hold your hands directly out in front of you at hip level and try to touch the knees to your palms as you lift them. Remember to focus on bringing your knees towards your hands, instead of reaching your hands to your knees. Repeat for the required amount of time.

High knees work well as a warm up or as a finisher between strength sets. See how we structure intervals in our workouts for fat loss.
