High Knees with Resistance Bands

This exercise is similar to the high knee exercise where a person runs forward while raising the knees high, then dropping to the toes and repeating. With this drill, you are required to use a resistance band (you can twist around a fence, door/doorknob, or anything stable enough to hold your body weight while performing) while pulling your body forward, at a slight angle, while still raising the knees as high as you can for at least 1 minute, preferably 2. Make sure you can feel the resistance of the band. Twist the ends around your hands or wrists, whichever is more comfortable for you. But, make sure you can feel the band pulling you at all times while you are going through this exercise. You should control the band, not let the band control you and slap you back.
