Kneeling Side Thigh Series

Orientation: One knee grounded, opposite leg extended

The Kneeling Side Thigh Series targets the outer thighs, hips, and obliques from a side-facing kneeling position.

The extended leg may stay grounded with toes forward or lift off the floor for added challenge. Variations include side leg lifts, kneeling squats with hips set back, or oblique-focused core work. Props such as weights or a ball in the hand can increase instability and build anti-rotation strength.

Framework Tip

This series pairs well with Side Plank and Side Lying for lateral strength and balance. It also layers naturally with other kneeling formats for compound sequencing.This low-impact position challenges strength and posture and adds variety to group fitness formats.
