Kneeling Lunge

Benefits:

  • Stretches hip flexors

  • Relieves low back pain

  • Stretches thigh muscles

Steps:

  • Start on all fours (arms under shoulders, knees under hips)

  • Inhale, bringing right foot between both hands

  • Check that your right knee is directly over your right ankle (protects your ligaments)

  • Exhale, begin to straighten back (left) leg until you feel a comfortable stretch

  • Allow your hips to gently drop

  • Breathe into your belly to allow your hips and legs to relax and ease into the stretch

  • Take 4-6 deep abdominal breaths

  • Push down with your hands and bring your right foot back, coming back to all fours

  • Repeat on the left side
