How to do it
- Lie face down with arms out to the sides in a T, legs extended, chin resting on the mat.
- Bend one knee to about 90 degrees and lift that foot off the floor.
- Reach the lifted foot across the body toward the floor on the opposite side, letting the hip rotate.
- Stop when you feel the stretch through the hip flexor, glute, and lower back of the lifted leg; keep the chest and shoulders pressed down.
- Hold for the set time, return to start, and repeat on the other side.
