Tips

Stand with a proud posture, ensuring your shoulders are relaxed and your gaze is forward to promote balance. Maintain a level hip position throughout the exercise, avoiding any rocking or tilting to engage your core effectively. Aim to bring your knee to chest height, feeling a stretch in your hip flexor while keeping your back straight. Lower your leg slowly and with control, resisting the urge to drop quickly to maximize muscle engagement and protect your joints.
