How to do it

  1. Start in a lunge - one leg back, back knee hovering above the floor, fists up.
  2. Drive through your front heel and rise all the way up onto that leg, swinging your back knee through and up to hip height in front of you, arms switching in running rhythm.
  3. Balance for a beat on one leg at the top, then step the raised leg back down into the lunge and go again.
  4. Finish the set, then switch sides: it's a lunge and a knee drive welded into one rep.
