The angle of your elbow shouldn’t change * Keep your hands relaxed * Your arms should move forward and back. You should not swing them to the side * Each arm should be in sync with the opposite leg Legs * Bring your feet all the way to your butt * Keep your shin in line with your thigh. Don’t let your feet kick to the side * Pull your toes toward your shins every time you raise your foot * Raise the kicking leg thigh to parallel during each stride * Focus on front side mechanics.
