Walking Leg Cradles

Walking leg cradles are a dynamic warm-up exercise that improve hip and ankle mobility. This exercise also improves core stability and balance.

Instructions

  1. 525_A
    Stand tall with your legs straight and arms hanging at your sides. Lift up one knee and externally rotate that leg so your inner thigh is pointing up.
  2. Walking Leg Cradles
    Grab the leg with both hands and cradle it higher to stretch out the glutes. Slowly lower to repeat on the opposite side to continue moving forward.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Avoid pulling the leg so far up that it rounds the lower back at the top of the motion. Stay within your flexibility limitations.
  • Keep the shoulders pulled back and chest up throughout the entire exercise.
  • Try to keep the supporting leg as straight as possible.
