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

  1. Stand facing away from a bench or elevated surface.
  2. Place one foot on the bench behind you.
  3. Lower into a lunge position, keeping your front knee above your ankle.
  4. Raise your arms overhead to increase the stretch, if comfortable.
  5. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs.
