Instructions

Alternate High Knee Turn with Sky Reach

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.

    • Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.

  2. Movement Begin:

    • Lift your right knee towards your chest while raising your left arm overhead.

    • Engage your core and maintain a straight back.

  3. Twist:

    • As you bring your right knee up, gently twist your torso to the left, reaching your left arm higher towards the sky.

    • Visualize bringing your knee and elbow together while maintaining balance.

  4. Return:

    • Lower your right leg back to the starting position and lower your left arm simultaneously.

    • Bring your body back to the neutral standing position.

  5. Repeat on the Other Side:

    • Lift your left knee towards your chest while raising your right arm overhead.

    • Twist your torso to the right this time, reaching your right arm up.

  6. Continue Alternating:

    • Perform the movement alternately between your left and right sides.

    • Keep a steady pace, focusing on form and control.

  7. Breathing:

    • Inhale as you raise your arm and knee, and exhale as you return to the starting position.

  8. Repetitions:

    • Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each side, or continue for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your fitness level.

Tips:

  • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance.

  • Try to keep your movements fluid and controlled to avoid injury.

  • If it's too challenging, slow down your pace or perform the movement without the twist.
