by Dr. Christopher Notley

1. Iliopsoas (hip flexors)
2. Rectus femoris (part of the quadriceps)
3. Tensor fascia latae (attaches to iliotibial band; ITB)

Start Position
1. Kneel on the ground
2. Place one foot ahead of the other
3. Upper body upright

Finish Position
1. Lunge the body forwards to the point of stretch
2. Balance self with hands on front leg
3. Take one arm or both and reach up in the air and then back behind you (this will help keep your back straight); this is not shown

Common Errors

2. Front knee going past the toes. Note in the photo that the knee doesn’t past the toes.
