How to do knee to elbow lift

Coach's Tips

This exercise focuses on your abdominal muscles by bringing your knees and elbows together in an alternating fashion.

Start Position

1. Stand with feet together, engage your core, and extend your arms in front at shoulder level.

2. Raise one foot off the ground and stagger your stance by placing it beside the other.

3. Bend your knees and lower into a squat position.

Proper Form

1. Start by lifting your elbows toward the sky while bringing your knees towards them.

2. When your knees nearly reach your elbows, swiftly reverse the motion and return your feet to the original stance.

3. Continue this movement for the desired number of reps.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you bring your knees to your elbows.

2. Breathe in as you place your feet back in the starting position.

Precautions

1. Maintain core engagement and a straight back throughout.

2. Avoid arching your back while bringing knees up.

3. Do not jerk or bounce to make your knees touch your elbows.

4. Land softly with feet together when returning to the starting stance.
