Exercise Steps

	Maintain a straight back. Bring one knee up to waist level.
	Quickly alternate bringing the other knee up.
	Repeat this as quickly as you can for as long as you want.
	Use your hands as guides as to what height your knees should go to. Absorb as much shock as you can with your calves to alleviate too much force on the knee.
