High Knees (slow and controlled)
Slow and Controlled High Knees are a mindful twist on a classic warm-up. Instead of fast-paced cardio, this variation focuses on precision, balance, and core engagement. Each deliberate lift challenges your hip flexors, glutes, and deep core muscles—helping reset your posture and realign your body after hours of standing or leaning.
For beauty pros, it’s the perfect movement to counteract slouchy shoulders, tight hips, and heavy feet.
Why It’s Essential for Beauty Pros:
Strengthens Core & Hip Flexors: Improves balance and posture behind the chair.
Promotes Mindful Movement: Helps reconnect with breath and alignment during breaks.
Boosts Circulation: Gently wakes up your lower body without high impact.
Salon-Friendly: Quiet, low space, and easy to do between clients.
Slow High Knees are a simple but powerful way for beauty pros to stay strong, aligned, and present—whether you’re gearing up for a busy shift or winding down after one.
