How To A Skip | Chari Hawkins

[@caltran2410]

I feel like I need a 10 min audio of you cheerfully saying "hop hop hop hop hop" to use as a metronome when I try this!

[@Karma-pt9sp]

Facs hahaha

[@samerhussein1729]

Exactly 😅

[@johnsands578]

I used to think I was coordinated😅. I had to really slow it down to get it.

[@crislabossiere6234]

You've got the best A skip and B skip instruction I've seen. Logical breakdown. Many have tried to teach me these but I never got it. I'm starting slow in my kitchen to avoid embarrassing thrashing about outside. I got the basic rhythm down in about 10 minutes. Once I'm fluid in my kitchen, I will release my clean A's and B's to the world😄

[@smallperk7822]

Exactly. Her explanations make so much sense..

[@benjaminkretz6063]

Hahaha :D I used the living room.

[@AlyssaEileen]

Haha same. I’ll be using my hallway 😂

[@damianholder7222]

[@markus7894]

You are the absolute queen of the running exercises!! There is no one on earth who explains them so insightful and executes them so beautifully!!

[@illumi1011]

objectively this is by far the best a and b skip tutorial in youtube. most tutorials always make assumptions that viewers are elite runners already. i love this and the b skip tut.

[@Bear-Cat_019]

I have been trying to find someone who carefully explained and demonstrated all of these running mechanics drills. You have done a fantastic job on every video that I have seen of yours doing running mechanics. I would love to see a Master Class type video where you walk through, demonstrate and explain the mechanics of running. Well done and thank you!!!

[@nicodejager8644]

Being strict on oneself with clean mechanics, builds positive muscle memory. This translates into relaxed execution, not over thinking while doing. Us military and martial arts types know this. Immediate Action Drills = becomes subconscious, kicks in automatically. Great video, well explained. Wish I had a coach like you.

[@namm1on]

Great breakdown of the mechanics. I like how you separated it into parts so it was easier to understand the rhythm. Good job! Now I can practice

[@kathleencurry9169]

By far the best logical breakdown I have found on executing an A-skip! Thank you for simplifying it so beautifully!

[@TheMrjonv]

I always knew ho0w to skip but I didn't know what they were called. I have no formal training. Now, after having watched your videos, I skip before I run. I really appreciate you, Chari Hawkins. You are so very awesome!! Blessings to you!!

[@JeffHolyfield]

Finally this A-skip business has been broken down by you for me in a way that I think I can for once figure it out. Thanks so much.

[@scottymackay1801]

I watched a few videos on this, but the breakdown and instruction here is the best. I got it in about 2mins or so. Started without the arms, but quickly progressed with them. I mean I'm still landing with the grace of an elephant sometimes, but it's getting there. Thanks for the vid.

[@miketomkins5171]

Thanks for the videos Chari, you have given us some of the clearest explanations of running drills out there

[@MidD4life]

This is one of the best breakdown videos explaining A-skips that I've seen.

[@_charihawkins]

Glad it was helpful! ❤️❤️

[@terriskeels2364]

This video was so helpful! My coach has really been pressuring us to learn how to do A- skips properly. This is just what I needed!

[@thirdsakkarjonboon2695]

I love the way you explain. That is totally clear and informative.

[@osasumweneweka2183]

Awesome on A-skip breakdown Chari ty cool hi fives!

[@harrisonlee1929]

wow, this was so simple yet so real. Got it in 2 minutes of trying. THANKS SO MUCH!!

[@drocpdp]

These are one of the drills that seem so easy but have so many facets to it

[@christopherstone2691]

I first saw this drill being done during 49ers practice. Both Christian McCaffery & Brock Purdy were doing it sparking my curiosity. Benefits all runners whatever your venue.

[@mrlynum1]

Thank you so much for all of tour instructions. I coach a small track club and your instructions have helped my athletes understand what I am trying to instruct. Helps that I coach mostly girls and they love watching your videos. You have a few new fans now :)

[@KarenCooley]

This was tremendously helpful!!! Such a great breakdown. I hop hop hop hop hop hop hopped around my office while listening to you and watching. :) Thanks!!!

[@josephkamau5918]

THE BEST INSTRUCTION EVER AS FAR AS THIS SPECIFIC EXERCISE IS CONCERNED ❤

[@bronxlords]

You saying hop hop is the best part of this video. Incredibly ADORABLE

[@jaquepeterson6174]

You're such a good teacher. You should make a series on the fundamentals of running and how to become a good runner from a couch potato lol Wish me luck on my journey

[@楊仲豪-r6n]

This is the first time in my life I can figure it out! Thank you so much!

[@BobDoherty]

Excellent instruction. Was able to do it almost instantly after watching. So how often and how much should you do this drill?

[@hekmatfarok2109]

I am really HAPPY because I was need this so thanks so much Chari 🙏🙏🙏❤❤

[@Jus10sweat]

This is so simple and useful for beginners I’ve been trying to teach my nephew proper mechanics but this is a much easier breakdown

[@colinadevivero]

You are the best! Thank you for your videos. You explain things so well

[@catfish1161]

Thank you for the in depth tutorial

[@stevenortega616]

Good video. I appreciate this. Thank you. Also another NB!! Which isn't mentioned is the importance foot striking underneath the hips at all times.

[@cakewaa8887]

How does this drill help with sprinting? What part of this drill do you apply to sprint

[@mrlynum1]

Thank you for making this video. I coach young track athletes and your instruction is so effective and yet easy to understand for sprinters of all ages on my team.

[@sashamikirtoumov3691]

The skips look easy on the video but trying to learn them is a lot more difficult, especially the fluid motion and the arms to follow the opposite leg.

[@georgererat]

Love the way you break this down.. so helpful.. Thank you 🎉

[@harvingwapo]

Thank you for this. I finally learned how to do it properly. I've been trying it but I know I'm doing something wrong because it feels awkward until I saw this video.

[@hekmatfarok2109]

your teaching skills is so amazing and enjoyable love it😊😊✊✊✊

[@trephi]

Looking great, Chari. Had to watch video to realize the title wasn't missing any words/a typo! I'm A little slow but I got it now ;). Keep the vids coming!

[@kenfromphilly752]

Jist tried it and it was a workout, so practicing it will strengthen the legs/joints/connective tissue no doubt

[@jefferygraham5126]

I've seen a version of this where there is only ever one foot on the ground. Is that just a subtle variation?

[@Abhishek__Parihar]

I am also doing the same method

[@RazaharivonyNyKanto]

Watching your vids from Mauritius. It's so helpful!

[@JoshuaWilliamsMA83]

Thanks! I've got a new workout program that's good A-Skips in it, and I've never done them before.

[@dustinlee4118]

She looked so cool with doing A skip... so I went out and did A skip. That ended up to freaking comedy show lolll

[@Wokeupgreat]

Been running for a while. Now with this new info (new to me) now I’m gonna be destroying it now. Bless

[@MrFilipalter]

Hope you can make more vids like this,this one was so informative!!!

[@sonnyfox8407]

Last time I tried a-skips I ended up doing the Ric flair strut

[@BEATHLETIC01]

Such a beautiful trainer.

[@muratunel]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@vsubhuti]

Thanks I play soccer and am fast runner but I needed you as a sprint trainer

[@coachshermanonyoutube]

[@mewtube7528]

[@freeatlast1810]

Really well explained. Thankyou 🙏

[@kibong-TV]

영상 보니 도움이 되는것 같군요 앞으로도 꾸준히 영상 부탁 해요~~👍

[@kevinvanhollebeke4560]

I came here after I watched her performance at the 2019 World Championships. Even in the high-pressure atmosphere of a World Championships, her enthusiasm, and charisma came shining through.

[@vladsid3453]

[@adrianmidgley7807]

Best explanation by far.

[@apulusun]

This is the “best” A skip video

[@riantelo3677]

thank you, I really like it can you make a combined ABC DRILL tutorial Thank You

[@josephpoole2826]

I wish i had your advice 40 years ago when i was a Freshman in High School. I might have been able to run faster. Now that I am 57 and doing these drills i feel quicker than I did at 17.

[@rune13slayer]

Thank you very much for breaking this down! I'll definitely try this intructions on my next one. Question though: Can I A-skip on elevated/inclined surface?

[@BlueLineRider]

It's a addictive wow .. might have to do this randomly now lol

[@javiersong]

Thank for posting this!

[@giovannilodrago4489]

non capisco la tua lingua ma ho capito in modo semplice ma efficace un esercizio che vedevo da parecchio sul web ! grazie mille per il tuo video.

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Thanks for sharing your voice!

[@nicksaveka5078]

Stunning ❤

[@ae291]

I learn A-Skip from this video. And I can do. But still learn B-Skip. Thank you

[@marcusholtzmann8387]

Super important video. Love doing drills.

[@Joe-nf8dj]

Very helpful , thank u

[@renatotreve3587]

I usually do it continuously without the 2-feet hop in the middle...is that okay?

[@darmawan88]

Thanks a lot chari

[@AjayPal-mc2hl]

Hop hop hop hop ,it’s nice presentation

[@yumry2999]

thanks for your video , I finally get it！

[@sharonhainesNumber1Red]

I’m having trouble teaching my Seniors Classes to skip. They cannot/will not skip.,They don’t want to learn how.

[@jesusrobertomoral2990]

Only going to say this...thanks Chary!! Really good video

[@sandiegodan]

Thank you so much!

[@kibong-TV]

그대가 알려주는 방법이 단가리? 장가리? 아니면 모든 달리기에 기본이 되는건가요?

[@mohdakmalabdullahkassim7706]

Thank youuuuuu!!!! 😊

[@MonisNayeem]

i will stay tuned to your videos :)

[@shreyasp2386]

Wow, thank you very much.

[@rnl-sw6sc]

Thank you for this, very well explained.😁

[@TheHistoryTravels]

Awesome tip

[@djcross2922]

Hey Chari love your vids always take ur advice just 1 question what's the A Skip for what's its purpose iv only been running for a year and I'm always looking for ways to improve

[@milliondollarz9639]

So it pretty much is the technique for what you’re supposed to do. You flex your foot (toe to your knee) and land flat foot on the ground which incorporates all of the steps needed for a good sprint technique

[@runningschoolofhannover3386]

cool. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊

[@jamesguus7454]

Chari, please give me a heart😁

[@alamsjah1kartono185]

❤

[@felipedeabreuprazeres5690]

Chari! Are these skips also good for improvement in performance for 10k/21k runners as well? Thanks!

[@kavanogletree3685]

Hey thank you again!

[@eugeniaendres-rojinski1369]

Awesome Video! Please more of these 🙂👍
