Primary muscles: Quadriceps

Secondary muscles: Abductors, Adductors, Calves, Glutes, Hamstrings

How to do it

  1. Start in a relaxed position with one leg slightly forward. This will be your starting position.
  2. Skip by executing a step-hop pattern of right-right-step to left-left-step, and so on, alternating back and forth.
  3. Perform fast skips by maintaining close contact with the ground and reduce air time, moving as quickly as possible.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Fast Skipping from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
