MOVEMENT OF THE DAY
LUNGING SIDE BEND

How to perform it:

Begin in a kneeling lunge with your left leg in front, making sure your left knee is over your ankle. Tuck your tailbone and flatten your lower back to stretch your hip flexors. Raise your right hand overhead and lean to the left. Your left hand can rest on your hip, thigh, or a yoga block for balance.

Cross your arm over your chest when you lean to make it easier. Try a standing lunge for a challenge, which engages your quads more.

Watch me perform this exercise here.

Why it helps:

This move is great for mobilizing your spine while working your hip and quadriceps.

QUESTIONS FROM READERS
HOW CAN I BE AS FLEXIBLE AS YOU?

QUESTION:

Hello David,

I was wondering. How can I be as flexible as you?

Sincerely,

Latte CooKie

ANSWER:

Hi Latte CooKie,

Love the name! Flexibility is built through training volume, which is very similar to bodybuilding.

For example, bodybuilders count the number of times they work out each body part per week, which is precisely what you need to do for flexibility.

How much per week? Well… 10 times a week is the minimum. So, if you stretch 5 days a week, you would touch your toes for 30 seconds twice a day.

But what if you only stretched twice a week? On the two days you decide to stretch, you need to touch your toes for 30 seconds five times.

STAY FLEXY
