I have several videos that cover techniques on getting up from the floor. A common complaint I receive on those videos is that they all require using your knees. There's a reason the vast majority of movement patterns that get you up from the floor use your knees. You have them for a reason, and not using them makes getting up from the floor far more challenging than just using them.
I'll cover a simple technique for getting up from the floor without using your knees. But more importantly, I'll cover why it's more important to recover the range of motion you need to use your knees while getting off the floor.
