Move of the week: increase mobility and functional strength with tall kneeling to standing

By Sonam Nundoochan

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: tall kneeling to standing.     

It’s great to do a workout that targets specific areas of the body but sometimes you just want an exercise that works your entire body. Want to strengthen your glutes? Build upper arm strength? Stretch out the hips? Increase your heart rate? Tall kneeling to standing is an exercise that ticks all the boxes.

It’s also a great functional movement – which means it serves a function or purpose outside of the workout itself and helps you practise movements that provides optimal motion for daily tasks. Not only does this move target your larger muscle groups like your arms and shoulders, but it also targets your core muscles like your abs and obliques.  

A weekly dose of expert-backed tips on everything from gut health to running, plus receive our 8-week beginner’s guide to strength training.
