Low Lunge to Hamstring Stretch

Low Lunge to Hamstring Stretch

Positioning:

1. Start in a standing position with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Step one foot forward into a lunge position. Your front knee should be directly above your ankle, and your back knee should be on the ground.
3. Lower your hips toward the ground, keeping your chest lifted and your back straight.

Movement:

1. From the low lunge position, reach your arms overhead with your palms together, elongating your spine.
2. Shift your weight back, extending your front leg straight while keeping your back knee on the ground. Flex your front foot to focus on the hamstring stretch.
3. Slowly bend your front knee to return to the low lunge position, ensuring your knee stays above your ankle.
4. Repeat the movement by alternating sides, stepping back to the starting position after each hamstring stretch.

Tips:

- Ensure you keep your core engaged for stability.
- Breathe deeply, inhaling as you reach up and exhaling as you move into the hamstring stretch.
- Hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds, depending on your flexibility level.
