In-Place Walking Knee Raise Sky Reach

Walking Knee Raise with Sky Reach

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.

   • Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.

2. Movement:

   • Begin by lifting your right knee up towards your chest while simultaneously lifting your arms above your head, reaching towards the sky.

   • Your right knee should be bent at about a 90-degree angle, and your foot should not touch the ground.

   • Ensure your body remains upright and your core is engaged to maintain balance.

3. Return:

   • Lower your arms back down to your sides as you lower your right leg back to the starting position.

   • As you complete this, prepare to lift your left knee and repeat the movement.

4. Repetition:

   • Alternate legs in a controlled manner. Each time you bring a knee up, reach your arms overhead.

   • Continue alternating for 10-15 repetitions on each side.

5. Breathing:

   • Inhale as you lift your knee and arms, and exhale as you lower them back down.

6. Tips:

   • Focus on maintaining good posture throughout the exercise; keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed.

   • If it's your first time, you can perform the movement more slowly until you feel comfortable with the coordination.

7. Finishing:

   • After completing your sets, stand still for a moment, breathe deeply, and relax your muscles.
