The person in front moves freely around the area and incorporates various exercise or movement forms (diagonal step, hop walk, double pole, duck walk, arms held high or in front, etc.). The group members imitate the movements identically. On a signal from the sports leader (e.g. 1-3 whistles), various exercises are incorporated. Possible exercise forms are:
- The first two runners kneel down and hold the poles at chest height, the next runners jump over the hurdle.
- The first two runners hold the poles at chest height, the next runners run under the poles (limbo).
- The first two runners hold the poles at knee height, the next runners crawl under the poles.
Swap positions from time to time (e.g. at the call of the sports leader) or even change groups.
