Technique Tuesday: Cardio Knee Pulls

One of my favorite sprints is on breakdown this Technique Tuesday. Not only are you getting your heart rate up, you are also finding strong balance and calling on your powerhouse core to stabilize and support the limbs to move. As always, you want to start slow and find balance before you level up to bigger and quicker movements.

Avoid dumping weight into the back leg (top video), you are trying to keep your head and shoulders still for the whole movement. Train yourself by putting less and less weight on the back foot as you find your balance and strength. Eventually you will keep the foot floating and be able to speed it up (bottom video).

At any time you can pause and tap the foot down to regain your balance. You could also omit the arm pulls if you have shoulder issues or need them still for balance. Make it yours and stay strong! - BEE
