walk back (20-30 sec)

100M Jog

Run at a comfortable, conversational pace for 100 meters. Focus on light, quick steps and keeping your upper body relaxed. This is just to raise your heart rate and get blood flowing to your muscles.

50M High Knees

Run forward while driving your knees up toward your chest with each step. Keep your torso tall, pump your arms in rhythm, and aim for quick, light ground contact. Move for 50 meters

50M Butt Kicks

Run forward while bringing your heels up toward your glutes with each stride. Keep knees pointing forward, stay tall, and make quick, snappy kicks behind you for 50 meters

50M Huggers

Jog forward while swinging your arms wide, then cross them in front of your chest like you’re hugging yourself. Alternate which arm is on top each time. Keep your shoulders loose and in rhythm for 50 meters

25/25M Windmills (Both Directions)

Skip forward and swing one arm in a large circular motion like a windmill in one direction while the other arm goes in the opposite direction. After 25 meters reverse the direction of both arms and continue for another 25 meters

50M A-Skips

Hop forward, driving one knee up to hip height while keeping your toe dorsiflexed (pulled up). Land lightly and switch legs with each hop. The rhythm should feel bouncy and springy. Go 50 meters

50M B-Skips

Start like an A-skip, but once your knee is up, extend the leg forward before snapping it back down under your hips. This works on hamstring mobility and turnover. Keep it rhythmic for 50 meters

Knee Hugs

While walking forward, lift one knee toward your chest and hug it in with both hands, pulling gently for a stretch. Hold for 1–2 seconds, then step forward and switch legs

Double Hamstring

While walking forward, plant one foot while kicking forward with the other foot. Keeping a controlled motion swing the leg backwards reaching towards your toes. Return to starting position and take a step to plant the opposite leg and repeat the motion. Continue for 10-12 reps

Walking Side Lunge

Step to the side into a deep lunge, keeping your trailing leg straight and your lead knee over your toes. Push off to the other side and repeat while moving forward.

Walking Cross Over Lunge

Step one leg across in front of the other into a diagonal lunge, keeping your chest tall. Push back to standing and alternate sides while moving forward

World’s Greatest Stretch

From a standing position, lunge forward and place both hands on the ground inside your front foot. Drop your hips slightly, twist your torso toward the front leg, and reach your arm toward the sky. Step forward and repeat on the other side.

Vertical Leg Swings

Hold onto a wall or partner for balance. Swing one leg forward and back in a controlled motion, gradually increasing range. Do 10–12 swings per leg

Lateral Leg Swings

Stand sideways to a wall or partner. Swing one leg across your body and out to the side in a controlled arc. Keep your torso upright. Do 10–12 swings per leg.

Bounding

Run forward with exaggerated, powerful strides, focusing on driving your knees high and covering more ground with each step. Stay springy and controlled.

Carioca

Move laterally by crossing your back leg in front of your lead leg, then your lead leg behind the trailing leg, alternating in a smooth rhythm. Rotate your hips with each step.

Skipping for Height

Skip forward explosively, pushing off the ground to get maximum upward lift with each step. Focus on vertical height rather than distance.

Strides

Run 80 meters building up to about 85% of your maximum speed. Should be fast but controlled. Stay relaxed, with smooth arm swings and strong, even strides. Hold max speed for ~20 meters before coasting to a stop. Walk back to recover between each stride.
