Single Leg Stretch
The short answer
Targets the lower abs and links movement to breath. Head and shoulders curled up, pull one knee in while the other leg extends, and switch with control.
8–10 sets
Breath, Inhale to switch legs · Exhale to draw the knee in
How to do it
Head and shoulders curled up, pull one knee in while the other leg extends, and switch with control.
Breath: inhale as you pull the right knee in; exhale as you switch to the left.
Be mindful
- Maintain neutral spine and pelvis throughout.
- Extend the reaching leg higher, not low, if you can’t keep the spine and pelvis neutral.
Modification
Keep both feet higher toward the ceiling until the low back stays anchored.
