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.

Really glad I found you. I am enjoying your daily workout program! Love the type of workouts. Please don’t stop doing the daily ones. I hate doing a program for x amount of time and then it stops and I have nowhere to go after that. Thank you!
