Hanging Knee Circles
Instructions
- Stand tall with a neutral stance
- Find something to hold onto unless directed otherwise
- This is not a balancing drill
- Bend your knee and lift your foot off the ground
- Keep your thigh parallel to the ground and pointed straight in front of you
- Get the feeling of your lower leg dangling from your knee, creating space in the joint
- Using your hip muscles swing your lower leg in a circle
- Try to keep the tension light and the dangling feeling
- Do repetitions as directed
- Repeat the movement in the opposite direction
- Repeat with the opposite leg.
Pro Tip
- Keep the tension out of your lower leg and don’t try to “muscle” the movement
- Imagine swinging your lower leg like you were swinging a pendulum from your knee
