jogging in place

Running without moving

Jogging in place is running without forward movement, lifting the knees and pumping the arms while staying in one spot.

It's a warm-up exercise, a way to maintain activity in confined spaces, or a substitute when outdoor running isn't possible: She jogged in place while waiting for the light to change.
