Power Skip

Each skip should feel like you are launching off one leg and driving your knee up explosively. You take a running step, then on the next step you skip with maximum height and power, driving that knee up high. The goal is to spend minimal time on the ground and maximum time in the air, which means you need to generate a lot of force quickly. Your arms pump to help that drive. Do this for distance or time — either way, the power comes from staying springy and pushing hard through each skip. Land softly to set up the next one.
