How to do the Stool Seated Stepout Knee-Tuck
Start by sitting on the edge of a padded stool with your feet flat on the floor, back straight, and hands placed in front of your chest for balance.
Engage your core and keep your chest lifted throughout the exercise.
Lift one foot off the ground and bring your knee toward your chest without rounding your back, rotating your knee outward as you tuck it in.
Hold the knee tuck briefly, keeping your abdominal muscles contracted.
Slowly extend the leg back to the starting position, placing your foot flat on the floor.
Repeat the movement with your opposite leg.
Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.
Make sure to keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum to lift your legs. Focus on engaging your core and breathing regularly throughout the exercise. This exercise can be adjusted in intensity by increasing the number of repetitions, slowing down the movement, or increasing the duration of the knee hold.
