Half-Kneeling Hip Flexor Reach

How to do it

  1. Kneel in a half-kneeling lunge with the back knee down and the front foot flat.
  2. Squeeze the glute of the kneeling leg and gently shift the hips forward until you feel a stretch in the front of that hip.
  3. Reach one arm overhead and slightly toward the back-knee side to open the hip and upper back.
  4. Keep the ribs down and the lower back from dumping into a hard arch.
  5. Hold for the set time, then switch sides.
