In Revolving Crescent Lunge, where is the left elbow placed?

• A. On the outside of your right knee
• B. On the inside of your left knee
• C. On the top of your left thigh
• D. At the left hip

Answer: (A)

Twisting safely in Revolving Crescent Lunge hinges on how you anchor the torso to the lower body to create a controlled rotation while protecting the knee. Placing the left elbow on the outside of the right knee gives you a solid lever to guide the twist, helping the chest open toward the front leg and the spine stay long. This setup also helps keep the front knee stacked over the ankle and prevents collapsing inward, which can stress the knee and lower back.

If the elbow were on the inside of the knee, it would crowd the joint and make the twist harder to achieve safely. Resting the elbow on the top of the thigh wouldn’t provide the necessary leverage to rotate the torso effectively. Placing the elbow at the hip wouldn’t engage the upper-tost rotation needed for the twist and could destabilize the posture.
