Steps

• Step 1: Stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands hanging loosly by your sides. This is the starting position.
• Step 2: Lunge forward with your right foot, placing it flat on the floor. Your right leg should form a 90 degree angle and your left foot should have the heel off the floor with your leg low to the ground, almost parallel with it. Your body should be upright and you should look straight ahead. Hold this stretch for up to 20 counts.
• Step 3: Bend at the waist and place your left hand next to your right foot for stability. Place your right forearm on the ground with your elbow next to your right foot. Hold this stretch for up to 20 counts.
• Step 4: Staying bent at the waist, raise the torso enough to be able to extend both arms downward so that your hands are on either side of your right foot.
• Step 5: Raise the toes of your right foot and straighten the right leg, adjusting your left leg as necessary to accomodate the stretch. Hold this stretch for up to 20 counts.
• Step 6: Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
