1. Seated knee lift -on a balance ball or edge of a chair, pelvis and spine neutral, knees flexed, feet on the floor hip distance apart, arms reaching to sides, lift one foot and hold for 30 seconds then switch feet.
2. balance on one foot -the other to the side with both arms reaching out to sides.
3. lay on stomach and reach back to grab ankles holding knees together as much as possible.
4. push up, start in plank position place feet on a stability cushion or pillow, bosu, or balance ball
5. use a broom or mop handle, start with feet shoulder width apart use broom or mop handle to stretch up and to the side 10 on each side.
6. standing knee lift- standing legs hip-distance apart, holding the ends of a flex-band(or strap) arms reaching toward the ceiling, arch of one foot on flex-band. keeping arms straight, lift one knee with control ex: press down extending knee.
