Movement
1. Lift your right knee towards your chest while simultaneously bringing your left elbow down to meet it. Aim to touch your left elbow to your right knee.
2. Return to the starting position.
3. Repeat the movement on the opposite side: lift your left knee while bringing your right elbow down to meet it.
4. Continue alternating sides in a smooth and controlled motion.

Tips

- Control your breathing; exhale as you touch your knee and inhale as you return to the starting position.
- Start with 10-15 repetitions per side and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.
