Instructions

Kneeling Lateral Lunge Stretch

Positioning

1. Start Position: Begin by kneeling on a flat surface with your knees on the ground. Keep your back straight and your core engaged.
2. Foot Placement: Position your feet hip-width apart, and ensure that your toes are pointed forward.

Movement

1. Lateral Lunge:
- Step your right foot out to the side, extending your right leg straight while lowering your body towards the right side.
- Keep your left knee on the ground throughout this movement.
- Make sure your torso remains upright and your left foot stays positioned under your left knee.
2. Stretch:
- Feel the stretch in your groin and inner thigh of the extended leg (right leg).
- Hold this position for a few seconds, focusing on breathing deeply to enhance the stretch.
3. Return:
- Slowly return to the starting position by bringing your right foot back to the starting kneeling position.
4. Repeat:
- Perform the stretch on the left side by stepping your left foot out to the side and lowering your body toward the left.
- Again, hold for a few seconds and return to the starting position.

Tips

- Maintain a straight back to avoid straining your spine.
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to effectively stretch the muscles.
- If needed, you can place a cushion or mat under your knees for extra comfort.
