knee lift

Thigh toward chest

A knee lift is an exercise movement where you raise your knee toward your chest while standing, engaging core and hip flexor muscles.

In marching or running drills, high knee lifts build coordination and leg strength: The coach had us do knee lifts across the field.

In dance and martial arts, a knee lift can be a preparatory position or a strike.
