Take care with: knees
If you have trouble with your knees, check with a doctor or physio first. In the app we automatically swap this exercise for a gentler one when you report it.
Low lunge
How to
- 1
From kneeling, step one foot forward, plant it and stack your front knee over your ankle.
- 2
Slide your back knee a little further back, with the top of your back foot on the floor.
- 3
Inhale and lift your torso and arms overhead; exhale and let your hips sink forward and down.
- 4
Keep your lower ribs down and don't arch your lower back; you should feel the stretch at the front of your hip.
- 5
Breathe steadily, then switch sides.
Tips
Put a folded blanket or towel under your back knee.
Easier version: keep your hands on your front thigh or on the floor beside your foot.
