How to do it

  1. Hang from a pull-up bar using a pronated grip. Your arms and legs should be extended. This will be your starting position.
  2. Begin by quickly raising one knee as high as you can. Do not swing your body or your legs. 3
  3. Immediately reverse the motion, returning that leg to the starting position. Simultaneously raise the opposite knee as high as possible.
  4. Continue alternating between legs until the set is complete.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Wind Sprints 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 Abdominals volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
