Common mistakes

  • You land heavy on flat feet instead of staying springy on the balls of the feet.

  • You let the arms flap to shoulder height instead of sweeping them all the way overhead.

  • You sprint through it like a conditioning drill when the goal is an easy, sustainable rhythm.

What to focus on

  • Keep the knees soft and the landings quiet so the ankles and calves warm up without jarring.

  • Use the full overhead arm sweep every rep — it is what opens the shoulders while the heart rate climbs.
