How to Hip Flexion

Starting Position

1. Stand upright and lightly hold onto a chair or bar to maintain balance.

2. Keep your feet hip-width apart and maintain an open chest position.

Proper Form

1. Lift one knee so that your thigh is facing forward.

2. Raise it only to a height that does not cause your pelvis to twist.

3. Slowly lower it and repeat on the opposite side.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lifting your legs and inhale when lowering them.

Precautions

1. Apply strength to your legs and gently lift your knees without 'forcing' them.

2. Engage your core to keep your back straight.
