  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.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Wind Sprints 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.
