Want to try the running man? It’s just a quick little exercise to get the blood flowing, and can be a quick energy boost when you need one. Side note… if you have any high-energy kids, this is a great way to channel the energy into a focused activity!
How to do it… Simple!
Just stand there, with your arms at your sides. Make sure you have running shoes on and you are ready to show the world what you’ve got! Countdown…3…2…1…GO! Run in place as fast as you can, knife hands (flat, open with fingers together and tight!), elbows bent and just slice the air. Control your breathing from start to finish. Time yourself starting at zero, and see how long you can run before you need to slow down. Once you feel yourself slowing, just stop. STOP! There. You just completed your first running man! Do it again, after a brief rest, maybe one or two minutes, then go a few more times.
Done!
