- Stand tall with your gaze forward, chest lifted and shoulders relaxed and down.
- Lean forward just slightly from the ankles and start moving.
- Bend your elbows and swing your arms straight back and forth, hands loose.
- Take quick, light steps, landing on your midfoot with your foot under your hips.
