Breath Control
Breathe in as you prepare for the movement, and exhale as you lift your knee.
Common errors

Comments and tips
Focus on keeping your pelvis stable throughout the movement. It may be helpful to brace your core to prevent your hips from rocking back and forth. Make sure to engage your glutes during the exercise.
Cautions
Avoid letting your hips roll back during the movement. If you experience any discomfort in your hips or knees, stop the exercise and consult a fitness professional.
