Low lunge
A kneeling lunge that stretches the front of the hip, an area that often feels tight after long hours of sitting.
How to do it
- Step one foot forward and lower the back knee to the floor.
- Keep the front knee over the ankle.
- Shift your hips forward gently.
Remember
Tuck your tailbone to feel the front of the hip.
Take care
Stop if you feel pinching in the front knee.
Easier option
Put a folded towel under the back knee, keep your hands on a chair or on the front thigh for balance, and shift your hips forward only a little.
A good moment for it
After sitting for a long time, or as part of a morning routine.
Stretch gently and never into pain. StretchUp gives general guidance and is not a medical device.
