Cross Knee Strike targets your hips and core. It also uses lower and lateral abdominals, glutes, and front hip flexors.

Step 1
Stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, and your arms raised and bent in front of your face.
Step 2
Shift your entire body weight to one leg, tighten your core, and pull the other knee to the opposite shoulder as high as you can. Pause and go back to the beginning.

Cross Knee Strike targets Abs, Obliques, Quads as seen below.

Pull your shoulders back and keep your chest up throughout the exercise. Try not to round your shoulders forward.
The exercise should be dominated by a twisting movement. Make sure the power comes from your core and not from your legs.
