Kneeling LungeRepeat for each leg/arm
The Kneeling Lunge is a dynamic stretch that targets the hip flexors, quadriceps, and groin muscles. It involves maintaining one knee on the ground while stepping the other foot forward into a lunge position. This stretch helps improve hip mobility and flexibility in the lower body.
Starting position
- Begin in a kneeling position on the floor with one knee bent and the other leg extended behind you.
- Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle and your back knee is under your hip.
Motion
- Shift your weight forward onto your front foot, feeling a stretch in the front of your hip and thigh.
- Keep your torso upright and avoid arching your lower back excessively.
- Hold the stretch for the time shown on the countdown, breathing deeply.
- When prompted, switch sides by bringing your back knee forward and stepping the opposite foot back into the kneeling lunge position.
