SKILLMILL Walk
Walking on the SkillMill is a fantastic way to warm up if you want something that can promote full length strides to stretch out your hip flexors, the curve in the SkillMill minimises impact on your knees and speed can be controlled by the gear lever that ranges from level 1 to 10 to increase or decrease resistance.
Low Backwards Walk
Fantastic exercise for targeting your quadriceps, glutes and calves, squat down and extend your arms pull shoulders down and back while engaging the core and focus on driving your heels down and away from you, feel the burn!! Try high resistance level 10 for 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds recovery for 6 – 10 sets!
