With this one as you are going to be on one leg you are now looking for not just knee position, but the HIP or PELVIS position. What to look for is the opposite side of the pelvis dropping down. If this is happening you'll have a hard time keep the knee in correct alingment under load and stepping up. Might be time for some glute med training in a closed chain single leg position!

With the current global situation many of you maybe starting to head back into the gym - if not already! If you have had some time off from exercise, especially load (like weights and plyometrics) then launching straight back into gym work, running, group exercise classes and boot camps needs to be done with a bit of awareness around your mechanics.

Usually people dont feel mechnical knee pain until a few weeks into a new routine with non-optimum knee movement. Too many weeks of exercises with a pelvis dropping in and a knee rolling in, and then with load can lead produce stress on the knee tissues and eventually pain and injury. This will definitely put a road block in your training - that you have so long yearned to get back into. Dont let this hapen to you!
