How to do it

Press firmly through your palms and spread your fingers wide.

  1. 1

    Start in a high plank position with your hands under your shoulders.

  2. 2

    Push your hips up and back into a downward dog position, forming an inverted V with your body.

  3. 3

    Rapidly alternate driving your knees towards your chest in a running motion.

  4. 4

    Continue the 'sprinting' motion while maintaining the downward dog position for the desired duration.

Expert tip

Keep your core engaged and back flat to avoid arching your lower back during the movement.
