Intermediate Hip Flexor And Quad Stretch
A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Kneel on your right knee and place your left foot in front of you, creating a 90-degree angle with your left knee.
- Tilt your pelvis backward by contracting your glute muscles and gently press your hips forward.
- Stretch your right arm up over your head and gently bend your torso to the left side to deepen the stretch.
- Hold the position for 15-30 seconds, then switch legs and repeat on the opposite side.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaning forward excessively instead of keeping the torso upright.
- Overarching the lower back instead of tilting the pelvis properly.
- Not engaging the glute muscles, reducing the effectiveness of the stretch.
- Holding the breath instead of breathing deeply and evenly.
