Lunge Stretch
If starting with the right leg:
Begin standing with feet side-by-side and body in tall posture. Take one large step forward with the right leg, so the left leg is in full extension. Place the left hand on the ground for stability and place the right elbow at the in-step of the right foot. Hold this position for a count of 5 seconds.
Stretch calf and hamstring muscles by bending left leg, leaning back onto left foot, and straighten the right leg. Keep both hands on the ground for support and lift right foot up so only the heel is touching. Hold this position for a count of 5 seconds.
Key points:
-Keep back leg straight when in the lunge
-GO SLOW!
