Low Crescent Lunge What it stretches: hip flexors From Side Lunge, turn your torso to face the front of the mat and lower your left knee to the floor. Rest your hands on your front thigh or raise your arms up, sinking your pelvis toward the floor to intensify the stretch in your hips. Stay here for 30 to 60 seconds. For a variation, bend your back knee, hold your back foot, and stretch the quad. Repeat one or both stretches on the other side. Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Kathryna Hancock
