Begin by quickly raising one knee as high as you can. Do not swing your body or your legs. 3

Immediately reverse the motion, returning that leg to the starting position. Simultaneously raise the opposite knee as high as possible.

Continue alternating between legs until the set is complete.
Log it, see it on your body.
