Part 5/6:
Hold your upper body straight, lunging forward until you feel a deep stretch in the back leg.
Then, lift the front knee up towards the ceiling, holding for about 5 seconds.
Perform 5 to 10 repetitions on both sides to balance the muscle work.
4. Seated Movement
From a seated position on the edge of a chair, stretch one leg straight out while pressing the heel into the floor.
Lean back gently while keeping your foot planted to feel a stretch in the front thigh.
Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat three times.
To strengthen, lift the leg upward while keeping a straight back, performing circular motions for added engagement.
5. The Couch Stretch
Position yourself in a lunge with the back foot resting on the edge of a couch.
