Technique
- Get into a kneeling lunge: one leg forward with the toes pointing forward and the foot flat on the ground, and the back leg’s knee on the ground and the toes pointing back.
- Move your front foot forward enough so that you can bring your hips down without the front heel coming off the ground.
- Aim to bring your hips as close to the ground as possible, getting to a 180 degrees angle between your front and back thighs.
- Keep your chest up to intensify the stretch on the back leg hip flexors, and keep facing forward (don’t let your hips twist to one side).
Logging: Work each side for the time indicated.
