High Knee Pull Foot Up and In – Exercise of the Week

High Knee Pull Foot Up + In – Exercise of the Week

The High Knee Pull Foot Up + In exercise is a dynamic stretching exercise you can use before each of your workouts. Dynamic stretching is used to increase the range of movement, blood and oxygen flow to soft tissues prior to exertion and helps reduce the chances of injury.

  • This exercise is similar to the High Knee Pulls exercise except that we are slowing the action down to a walk and adding in a further dynamic stretch .
  • The purpose of the high knee pull foot up + in is to stretch the gluets, quads, lower back and shoulders but also add a stretch of piriformis muscle which is responsible for lateral rotation of the hip.
  • Perform this exercise by walking in an upright position and stay on the balls of your feet.
  • Drive your knees up as high as possible, and then grab your ankle and foot and pull your foot up and in without leaning backwards.
  • Hold the stretch for a moment before returning the leg back down and swapping legs View the images and video below to see this warm up exercise in action.
