Lunge and Thoracic Spine Stretch
The hip flexor lunge is an effective stretch targeting the hip flexor muscles, which are essential for movement and stability. It helps alleviate tightness in the hips and can improve overall flexibility.
How to perform the Hip Flexor Lunge:
Start in a standing position and take a large step forward with your right foot, lowering your hips until both knees are at about a 90-degree angle. Your left knee should be directly above your left ankle.
Keep your torso upright and engage your core. You should feel a stretch in the front of your left hip and thigh.
Rotate your body to face one side and raise one arm up.
Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds.
Switch legs and repeat on the other side
Incorporating these stretches into your routine can enhance flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and promote better overall movement. Enjoy the benefits!
