How to do it
- Position yourself on your hands and knees on the ground. Maintaining good posture, raise one bent knee off of the ground. This will be your starting position.
- Keeping the knee in a bent position, rotate the femur in an arc, attempting to make a big circle with your knee.
- Perform this slowly for a number of repetitions, and repeat on the other side.
