1. Begin with feet shoulder width apart.
   
   
   
   
2. Pull your foot directly up towards your bottom. If your flexibility allows, dorsiflex your foot to point your toes upwards.
   
   
   
   
3. Continue lifting leg as far is comfatable, whilst maintaining foot dorsiflextion (point of toes).
   
   
   
4. Lower leg directly under body.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Aim to touch the ground with the midpart of the foot, and begin the next rep quickly.
   
   
   
   

Initially perform 20 repetitons on each leg.
To progress this exercise, try walking forward. As your co-ordination improves, this can be increased to a gentle skip.
