Setup

Start standing, then step into a deep lunge position with your front foot forward.

How to do it

  1. From the lunge, place both hands inside your front foot.
  2. Rotate your torso and reach one arm toward the ceiling, opening up through the chest.
  3. Return your hand to the floor, then straighten your front leg to stretch the hamstring.
  4. Return to standing and repeat on the other side.

Coach's notes

Move slowly through each part of the flow, pausing briefly wherever you feel the most benefit.
