How to do a knee raise

  1. Stand tall with your core engaged and shoulders back
  2. Lift your right knee up toward your chest, aiming to bring your thigh parallel to the floor
  3. Hold briefly at the top of the movement
  4. Lower your leg back down with control to the starting position
  5. Repeat the movement with your left leg
  6. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions

Form tips

  • Keep your core tight throughout the entire movement to maintain stability and maximize effectiveness
  • Avoid leaning backward or using momentum to lift your knees higher
  • Focus on controlled movements rather than speed to properly engage the abdominal muscles
  • Maintain good posture with chest up and shoulders back throughout the exercise
  • If balance is challenging, perform the exercise near a wall or chair for light support
