Chair figure four
The figure four on a chair: one ankle on the opposite knee and a slight lean forward, for the glutes.
How to do it
- Sit tall with both feet on the floor.
- Rest one ankle on the opposite knee, flexing the foot.
- Keep your back long and lean forward slightly.
Remember
Shin level, lean forward with a long back.
Take care
Skip this one if you have knee or hip pain; keep the lifted foot flexed.
Ask a professional first if you have:
- a hip replacement (deep hip bending, crossing the legs or turning the knee inward)
Stretch gently and never into pain. StretchUp gives general guidance and is not a medical device.
