Difficulty
Steps
Stand with feet wide apart, toes pointing forward, arms extended out to the sides.
Bend one knee and lower into a lunge position, keeping the opposite leg straight and foot planted.
Reach the arm on the same side as the bent knee towards the floor, extending the other arm overhead.
Hold the stretch for a few seconds, then return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Benefits
The extended side angle stretch targets the hamstrings and quadriceps, improving lower body flexibility and range of motion. It also stretches the hips and groin while engaging the core for stability.
