Instructions
Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and place your hands behind your head, elbows flared out to the sides.
Shift your weight to one leg. Begin the exercise by lifting the opposite knee up to the side, attempting to bring it to hip height while keeping your upper body straight.
After pausing briefly with the knee raised to the side, smoothly transition the knee to the front by moving it across the midline of your body.
Hold the knee in front of you for a brief moment. This is where the abdominal and hip flexor engagement is maximized.
Return your leg to the starting position, ensuring controlled movement throughout the exercise.
Repeat the knee raise, first to the side, then to the front, for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
Once all repetitions are completed on one leg, repeat the same number of repetitions for the opposite leg.
Rest for the prescribed time before performing the next set.
Ensure to maintain good posture throughout the exercise, keeping the core engaged to provide stability and enhance the involvement of the targeted muscle groups. This exercise can improve core strength, stability, and coordination.
