Why I Do it: This is one of the best stretches to target the hip flexors and the outer hip.
- Begin on the hands and knees. Step the left foot forward between the hands, coming into a deep lunge, with the right knee resting on the ground.
- Place your hands on the floor under your shoulders.
- Slowly press your left knee to the left so you're resting on the outside of your flexed left foot. Keep your arms straight, pressing your chest forward to increase the stretch.
- Hold like this for five breaths, and then repeat on the other side.
