HAMSTRINGS
Lunge to Hamstring Stretch
This flowing move pairs a deep lunge with a hamstring stretch, working the quads, glutes, and hamstrings while opening up the hips. Shifting between the lunge and the straight-leg reach builds both mobility and stability in one sequence. It's an ideal dynamic warm-up to prep the lower body before harder training.
How to do it
- 1
From standing, take a big step forward, bending your front knee and dropping your back knee toward the floor.
- 2
Tuck and square your hips, shifting your weight onto your front heel to feel a stretch in the back leg.
- 3
Pull your hips back and straighten your front leg as much as you can, pointing the toes up.
- 4
Use the floor or a stable object for support, keeping your weight balanced and back flat over the front leg.
- 5
Reach for your front toes if you can and hold briefly.
- 6
Bend the front leg, step forward with the back leg to stand, then switch sides.
