Helps with:
Core stability
Strength
Starting position:
Kneeling
Starting position
Kneeling on all fours, weight evenly distributed.
Step one
Lift one arm and the opposite leg at the same time, stretching both limbs away from your body.
Step two
Hold then lower slowly. Repeat with the other arm and leg.
Repeat 3-5 times.
Kneeling exercises can be quite strenuous so make sure you can rest afterwards and that you can get back up off the floor! Unless you're very confident, it is a good idea to do these when someone else is in the house.
If you have problems/concerns, talk to a physiotherapist
