How to perform it

  1. This move helps prepare your running form to help you excel at sprinting. As you run, be sure to flex the knee, aiming to kick your glutes as the hip extends.
  2. Reload the quad as the leg moves back forward, attacking the ground on the next step.
  3. Ensure that as you run, you block with the arms, punching through in a rapid 1-2 motion.

Muscles worked

The Moving Claw Series primarily targets your Hamstrings, with support from your Calves, Quadriceps. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Moving Claw Series slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
