Alternating Cross-Arm Leg Lift

Starting Position:

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

• Keep your arms crossed over your chest, with your elbows bent and hands resting on your shoulders.

Movement:

• Begin by lifting your right knee towards your chest while simultaneously keeping your left foot grounded.

• As you lift your knee, twist your upper body slightly to the right.

• Lower your right knee back down to the starting position.

• Repeat the movement with your left knee, lifting it towards your chest and twisting your upper body to the left.

Repetitions:

• Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each leg, alternating back and forth.

Form Tips:

• Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.

• Maintain an upright posture, avoiding leaning forward or backward.

• Move in a controlled manner to maintain balance.

Breathing:

• Inhale as you lift your knee and twist your body.

• Exhale when you return to the starting position.

Progressions:

• To make the exercise more challenging, incorporate a small hop as you lift your knee, adding a plyometric element to the movement.
