How to
You can use this exercise both as a dynamic warm-up before training and add it to your cardio training routine to burn fat. High knee skips are a plyometric exercise. Plyometrics are explosive aerobic moves that increase speed, quickness, and power and they work your whole body. High knee skips target the oblique, leg muscles, hip muscles and hip flexors and also work on the thighs, knee tendons, quadriceps and shoulders. Jumps are beneficial to your health because they combine cardiovascular conditioning with strength work. Since jumps elevate your heart rate, they can also improve your cardiovascular fitness.
