Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Twisting Knee Up.
The twisting knee up is a standing plyometric exercise that combines a high knee raise with a torso rotation, targeting the obliques and hip flexors while improving coordination. The rotational element increases the anti-rotation demand on the core compared to a standard knee raise.
The Twisting Knee Up is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
