Grown-ups
Coach Peabody, counting

Run on the spot bringing each knee up as high as your hip.

High knees

Go somewhere · ages 6 to 14 · Counted in seconds · 🤫 Quiet

How to do it

  1. Knees to hip height, quick as you can.
  2. Stay tall: don't lean back.
  3. Front of the foot, soft and quiet.
  • Nothing at all
  • Enough floor to lie down on, arms out.

Watch out for this

Stand tall and lift with your tummy, not by leaning.
Leaning back to get the knee up.

Make it fit you

The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.

Harder

  • Go for twenty seconds without slowing down.

Can't jump? march

Sitting down? Sit tall and pull each knee up towards your chest, quickly.
