Knee circles – how to do it right
Feet together, hands on your knees, circle the knees slowly.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Feet together with soft knees.
- Hands on your knees.
- Circle your knees slowly – switch direction.
How long?
40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds.
If something niggles
Knee niggling? Then do Hip circles instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
