Hip Flexor Lunge Stretch
How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.
Kneel in a lunge position, gently drive the hips forward while keeping the torso tall, feeling the stretch in the front of the back hip. Essential for posture and lower-back comfort.
Option. Place a pad under the back knee. Reach the same-side arm overhead for a deeper stretch.
