How to do the Arm & Knee Lift Rotation
Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart and your arms lifted in front of you at shoulder height, elbows bent so your forearms are parallel to the ground.
Begin the exercise by lifting your right knee towards your chest while maintaining your arms in a fixed position in front of you.
As you lift your right knee, rotate your arms to the left in a smooth windshield wiper-like motion, keeping your forearms parallel to the ground.
Bring your knee and arms back to the center and lower your right leg back to the starting position.
Repeat the movement lifting your left knee and rotating your arms to the right side.
Alternate these movements, lifting one knee with the opposite arm rotation, for the suggested number of repetitions.
Tips: - Engage your core throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability. - Focus on your breathing and exhale as you lift your knee and rotate your arms. - Keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum to create the rotation or the knee lift. - It can be helpful to find a focal point directly in front of you to aid in balance.
