The C-skip is a dynamic running drill designed to improve hip flexor strength, mobility, knee drive, and leg turnover. It is a variation of the A-skip drill but incorporates lateral movements to enhance hip flexibility and range of motion. Here’s how it works:

How to Perform:

1. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Take a small hop forward, driving your knee up and out to the side while swinging your arms in opposition.

3. Land on the ball of your foot and repeat the movement on the opposite leg.

4. Maintain an upright posture, engage your core, and keep movements smooth.

Benefits:

• Improves hip mobility and flexibility by targeting side-to-side movements.

• Enhances coordination, rhythm, and stability.

• Strengthens lower body muscles like quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes.

• Reduces injury risks by improving running form.

This drill is often used as part of warm-up routines or standalone exercises for athletes such as sprinters, long-distance runners
