Exercise Directory: Exercise #60: Knee-to-Shoulder

1/10/2016

 
​The Knee-to-Shoulder exercise works your lower body while engaging your obliques. This is an exercise that you can do just about anywhere ... that requires zero equipment.

STEP #1: Get down onto your hands and knees ... forming a tabletop with your back. Your hands should be about shoulder-width apart.

STEP #2: Next ... bring your right knee toward your right shoulder ... getting a bend in your side.

STEP #3: Next kick your leg back behind your body ... keeping tension throughout your lower body.

STEP #4: Bring your knee back to your shoulder ... making sure you engaging your obliques.

Front View:

STEP #5: Repeat this movement for approximately 30-50 repetitions ... depending on your fitness level.
​
STEP #6: Switch legs and do the same amount of repetitions on the opposite leg.

​​​NOTE: This exercise works your lower body. If done properly, you will feel your booty working ... especially the top [gluteus maximus].

NOTE: Try to keep the leg [that is in contact with the floor] as straight up and down as possible. It should be perpendicular with the floor.

NOTE: More than likely you will start feeling pressure in your stationary leg. Typically that is due to shifting your body weight from 4 contact points to 3 contact points. If you concentrate on keeping your leg [holding your body up] perpendicular, this will help to lessen that pressure.
