Standing Knee To Elbow
Standing knee to elbow is a functional abdominal exercise for boosting strength throughout the core. Unlike standard abdominal exercises, they don’t isolate your abdominal muscles, they also work the upper legs.
Lifting your knee toward your body takes the work of many muscles, which are collectively known as your hip flexors. The hip abductor muscles not only move the leg away from the midline, but they also help to rotate the leg at the hip joint. The hip abductors are necessary for stabilisation during walking, and one-legged movement.
