Circles Knee Stretch
Feet together and knees bent, hands on the knees, circle the knees one way and then the other; a warm-up for the knees and ankles.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet together, knees bent, hands resting on the knees.
Steps
- Circle the knees together, slow and even, in one direction.
- Keep the feet flat; only the knees and ankles travel.
- Finish the set, then circle the other way.
Common mistakes
Heels lifting off the floor: smaller circles, feet flat. Pressing down hard on the knees: the hands rest there, they do not push. Whipping the circles fast: slow and even.
Breathing
Steady with the circle.
