Knee Tap Squats
Written By David Song
KNEE TO FLOOR TAPS
This warm up exercise is to improve hip internal rotation mobility while in a deep squat. For this exercise, go into a deep squat and hold the position with one leg as the other is rotated inwards until the knee taps the floor gently. Alternate sides and repeat as required to get desired results. This exercise can also be used in general for improving hip internal rotation.
