How to do it
- Stand tall next to a wall for balance and lift one knee to hip height or above.
- Hold it there without leaning back or hitching the hip upwards.
- Keep the standing leg straight and the ribs down, and breathe normally.
- Hold, then swap. If the hip cramps, that is the muscle working at a length it rarely gets to. The time shown is the total for both sides — half on each.
