How to do it

  1. Raise your arms up, then lift one knee and try to touch it with your fingers.

  2. Lower the leg and alternate sides.

About Knee Lift Pull

Knee Lift Pull starts with raised arms and brings the fingers toward a lifted knee. The reach and knee lift meet in front before the leg lowers and the sides change.

What to focus on

  • Keep the supporting leg steady before lifting.
  • Lower the foot before beginning the next reach.

Make the movement smaller

Keep the arms lower and the knee lift small; the fingers do not need to touch the knee.

A mistake to watch for

Folding the torso abruptly to make contact. Reduce the reach and lift instead.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Knee Lift Pull. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.

Where you will practice it
