Standing Hip Circles

Technique

How to perform Standing Hip Circles

1. Stand beside a stable fixed support and use one hand for light balance assistance.
2. Lift the opposite knee in front of you toward hip height while keeping the pelvis facing forward.
3. Guide that bent knee outward from the hip, keeping the trunk from turning with it.
4. Continue the controlled circle by moving the thigh back and down, then return it forward toward the starting position.
5. Keep the circle within the range you can make without tipping or swinging the pelvis.
6. Finish the repetitions under control, lower the foot and repeat on the other side.
