Sets And Reps

As with any other exercise, it’s always important to start slowly. Once you’re comfortable and accustomed to jogging in place, you can increase the level of difficulty by lifting your knees slightly, as if you were performing the high knees exercise. If you want to work arms and legs at the same time, just grab a set of light dumbbells and start running.
