How to do a hip circle

  1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and hands resting on your hips.
  2. Shift your weight slightly and lift one knee to about hip height.
  3. Draw a large circle with the knee, moving it out to the side, back, and around.
  4. Complete the circles in one direction, then reverse the motion.
  5. Lower the leg and repeat on the other side.

Form tips

  • Keep your standing leg soft and your torso upright.
  • Move slowly through the full range of the hip joint.
  • Engage your core to stay balanced throughout.
