How to do it
Breathe steadily and match each hip circle to a slow four-count cadence.
- 1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hands on your hips.
- 2
Rotate one hip forward and upward, then circle it out to the side and back in a smooth motion.
- 3
Reverse the direction for the same hip, performing a backward and downward rotation.
- 4
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching hips.
Expert tip
Maintain a stable core and upright posture to ensure the rotations are coming from the hips and not compensating with excessive lower back movement.
Common mistakes
- ✕Lifting the standing heel during rotation
- ✕Shifting the pelvis side to side
- ✕Bending the knees to exaggerate the circle
