How to do the Standing Hip CARs

1. Stand tall and hold on to a wall or chair for balance.
2. Lift one knee up in front of you to hip height.
3. Slowly open the knee out to the side, then rotate it behind you as you draw the foot back.
4. Bring the knee back down and forward to finish the circle, then reverse the direction.

Tips

• Keep your torso still so all the movement comes from your hip.

Adjustments

• Make the circle smaller or keep the knee lower if your hip feels pinched.
