Instructions:

  • 2Keep your feet together while raising your top knee as high as you can without moving your pelvis.
  • 3Slowly lower your knee back and repeat.
  • 4After finishing your reps on one side, roll over and repeat for the other side.

Tips:

  • Ensure your body remains in alignment throughout the exercise.
  • Avoid leaning backwards or forwards, keep the movement in the hip only.
  • It's not about how high you lift your knee but the rotation in the hip.
  • Tighten your core to maintain stability.
