How to Do Prancing
The prancing should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the prancing.

1. This movement is similar to straight legged running.
2. Start in an athletic stance; knees and elbows slightly bent.
3. Kick one leg forward, keeping it straight.
4. With the planted leg, propel yourself forward with extension at the hip.
5. Bring the forward leg back, landing first on the toes, then on the heel and simultaneously kick the planted leg forward so that there is flexion at the hip.
6. Repeat in a running motion and ensure that the arms are swinging like you are running to help in stability of the trunk.
