Hip openers

Step forward with your left leg, and lower your body into a lunge. As you go down, place your right hand on the floor so it’s even with your left foot. Your right knee should remain above the floor—not touching.

Now move your left elbow inside your left foot, and rest it on the floor. Square your hips so you feel a stretch on both sides, and try to keep your back as flat as possible.

Move your left hand outside your left foot, and twist to reach for the sky. Try to pull the toes on your left foot up to your shin.

Then stand up and alternate legs.
