How to do the Standing Knee Hugs

1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and arms relaxed.
2. Shift weight onto one foot and pull the opposite knee toward your chest with both hands.
3. Hold for a beat, lower the leg, and repeat on the other side.

Tips

• Keep a soft bend in the standing leg for balance.
• Lift through your chest and stay upright as you hug the knee.

Adjustments

• Use a wall or chair for balance if needed.
• Lift the knee only as high as feels comfortable today.
