Knee raises seem straightforward but it’s important to pace yourself and steady and focus on your stability. “Good alignment, pick up one leg, bring the knee to hip height while balancing on the other leg.”

“If you can perform them large movements – bringing them up to your core – maintaining equilibrium, then it will engage your abdominals,” they explain.
