Standing Alternate Knee Raises
Description
Stand upright with your back straight, smoothly raise one leg up so that your thigh is parallel to the floor, and your opposite elbow meets your knee, holding for 5 – 8 seconds prior to returning back to the ground and repeating alternating your legs.
Make sure your core is completely engaged and you exhale as you bring your knee and elbow together.
Why I Love This Move!
Knee raises are a great standing abdominal move that will also work the hip flexor muscles, that at the top of your thighs.
Why/When I Use This Move
I love to use this move as a dynamic warm-up exercise or as an active recovery move between weight lifting sets or during HIIT.
Give This a Try:
Try adding this set of exercises into your regular routine a couple times per week. This is a series of excellent total-body conditioning moves that will blast fat while making you functionally STRONG for LIFE!
Complete 30 seconds of each move 5 times for a total of 10 minutes:
