How to do it
4 stepsStand with your feet together and place your hands on your thighs just above the knees. Keep your back straight and your weight even on both feet.
Bend your knees slightly and start to move them together in a small circle, as if tracing a ring on the floor.
Make 8 to 10 circles in one direction at a smooth pace, then switch to the other direction. Keep your heels on the floor.
Breathe calmly through the whole set and stand up straight to finish.
Keep the circles small and slow. Wide, fast circles load the joint rather than warm it up.
If you feel pinching at the front of the knee, bend your knees less.
