How to do the Deep Lunge Stretch

1. Stand tall and step one foot back into a long lunge stance.
2. Lower your hips straight down, keeping the back leg long as the front knee tracks over the toes.
3. Stay upright through your torso and let the front knee travel forward while the back thigh stretches.
4. Hold the bottom position, then press through the front foot to rise and repeat or switch sides.

Tips

• Ground the entire front foot to stay stable.
• Keep the front knee aligned with your second toe instead of letting it cave inward.

Adjustments

• Stop a bit higher if you need a lighter stretch.
• Use a wall, dowel, or chair for balance if you feel wobbly.
