How to do it

Distribute your weight evenly across both feet during each circle.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hands on your hips.

  2. 2

    Begin to move your hips in a circular motion, pushing them forward, to the side, back, and then to the other side.

  3. 3

    Perform the circles for 15-30 seconds, then switch directions.

  4. 4

    Keep the movement smooth and controlled, focusing on the mobility of your hip joints.

Expert tip

Maintain a tall posture throughout the exercise and engage your core to stabilize your body.

Common mistakes
