Instructions
1. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your back straight and your arms at your sides or on your hips for balance.
2. Engage your core to stabilize your upper body.
3. Slowly lift one knee towards your chest without leaning backward. Try to raise your knee as high as comfortably possible without compromising your posture.
4. Keep the lifted leg in the air for a second and then smoothly lower it back down to the starting position.
5. Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
6. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of reps and sets.
Note: Make sure to perform the movement in a controlled manner to avoid any swinging or jerking movements. Keep the standing leg slightly bent to maintain balance and to avoid hyperextension of the knee.
