Instructions

Setup

  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your core engaged.

Execution

  • While walking forward, lift your right knee toward your chest.

  • Grasp your right shin or just below the knee with both hands.

  • Gently pull your knee closer to your chest while maintaining a tall, upright posture. Ensure your supporting leg remains straight but not locked.

  • Hold the stretch for a brief moment.

  • Release the leg and step forward to plant your right foot on the ground.

  • Immediately repeat the movement with your left leg, alternating sides as you continue walking.

Focus points

  • Keep your chest lifted and shoulders relaxed throughout the movement.

  • Focus on balance and controlled movement rather than speed.
