Hip Flexor Stretch Rear foot elevated
Expert Advice
Keep your pelvis tucked under to prevent arching your lower back, which can reduce the effectiveness of the stretch.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand facing away from a bench or elevated surface.
- Place one foot on the bench behind you.
- Lower into a lunge position, keeping your front knee above your ankle.
- Raise your arms overhead to increase the stretch, if comfortable.
- Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs.
