While sitting on the floor with a straight back and tight core, bring each foot inward. Feet should be touching and your legs should make a diamond shape.
Grab your feet with your hands. Place your elbows on the inside of your knees. Slowly lean forward from the hips. Once you feel the stretch in your hip flexors, hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Slowly rise and repeat.
Sit on the ground and position a foam roller underneath your calves. Make sure that you begin towards the top of the muscle, near the knee.
Place your hands behind you and lift yourself off the ground.
Slowly move yourself forward allowing your calves to roll 2 to 3 inches on the foam roller. Pause then roll the other way. Continue the back and forth motion. For a deeper stretch, try stacking one leg over the other.
Stand with your feet in a wide stance, with your toes slightly pointed outwards – like a sumo wrestler. Hold your hands together in front of your chest.
Keeping your back straight, lower your body towards the ground by bending your knees.
As you reach a fully squatting position (legs are bent at a 90-degree angle), hold the pose for 1 second before driving your feet into the floor and slowly push your body back up to the starting position.
For a bonus, tense your glutes at the top of the movement.
Primary muscle group(s):
Quadriceps
Secondary:
Abs, Hamstrings
Place your feet at shoulder width apart while keeping your chest up and your abdominals braced.
Begin the movement by swinging your arms up towards your shoulders. At the same time, bend at the knees and drive your hips back like you’re sitting in a chair.
Once your upper thighs are parallel with the ground, pause, then drive your hips forward to return to the starting position.
Primary muscle group(s):
Hamstrings, Quadriceps
Secondary:
Calves, Glutes & Hip Flexors
Standing with a braced core and flat back, bring your hands together at chest height. Position your feet to be at hip-width.
Beginning with the right foot, step backward and across your left foot. Simultaneously, bend the left knee and drop it towards the ground.
Stop when the front right knee is parallel with the ground. Push off the ground with your right foot and return to the starting position.
Begin by standing tall with a tight core and looking straight ahead. Keep your chest up as you step forward with your right foot into a lunge position.
Lower the left knee to the ground. Extend the right knee forward.
Clasp your hands together and push them straight overhead. You’ll primarily feel the stretch in your hamstrings and hip flexors. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds then switch sides.
