Seated Single-Leg Hugging Knee Flexion with Towel
The hugging seated knee bend with a rolled towel in the crease behind the knee: the arms draw the shin in against the towel.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall, a rolled towel in the crease behind one bent knee, hands clasped over that shin, the other leg long.
Steps
- Pull the shin in gently with the arms, closing the knee on the towel.
- Hold the deepest point for a beat.
- Ease off slowly; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Towel slipping out of the crease: roll it firm and seat it deep behind the knee. Pulling hard into pain: a firm, even pressure only. Slouching over the knee: keep the chest up.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale extending.
