Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Begin in a seated position on the floor.

    • Position your right leg at a 90-degree angle in front of you, with your knee bent and your foot flat on the ground.

    • Place your left leg behind you, bent at a 90-degree angle as well, with the knee on the ground and foot resting on the floor.

  2. Body Positioning:

    • Sit tall with your back straight.

    • Your hands can rest on your thighs or in front of you for balance.

    • Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears.

  3. Movement:

    • Lean forward gently from your hips while keeping your back straight.

    • As you lean, aim to bring your chest closer to your right knee without rounding your back.

    • Hold this position for a few seconds, feeling the stretch in your hips.

  4. Returning:

    • Slowly return to the starting position by sitting back up straight.

    • Repeat the lean, then switch your legs to the opposite position.

    • Position your left leg in front and the right leg behind, and repeat the movement.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Perform 5 to 10 leans on each side, holding each position for 5 to 10 seconds.

  6. Tips:

    • Ensure to keep your movements controlled and aware of your body’s range to avoid strain.

    • Breathe deeply and evenly throughout the exercise.
