How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Begin on hands and knees with the spine neutral and the pelvis square to the floor.
  2. 02Lift one knee slightly and draw it forward toward the chest without rounding the back.
  3. 03Move the knee outward, rotate the hip, and sweep the thigh backward through the largest controlled circle available.
  4. 04Keep the supporting side and rib cage still so the motion comes from the hip rather than the lower back.
  5. 05Complete the circle slowly, reverse direction, and then switch legs.
