#Info – Standing Knee Raise
The Standing Knee Raise is a versatile exercise that targets the core, hips, and lower body. Common mistakes include using momentum instead of muscle control, which reduces effectiveness and increases injury risk. Focus on slow, controlled movements, engaging the core throughout. To increase difficulty, add ankle weights or hold a dumbbell in each hand. Beginners can use a chair for balance support. Ensure your spine remains neutral, avoiding excessive arching. This exercise improves balance and coordination, making it great for all fitness levels. Incorporate it into your routine to enhance core strength and stability.
