Hip Stretch

Wendy Bumgardner © 2007

Stand up, take a half-step back with the right foot.

Bend your left (forward) knee and shift your weight back to your right hip until you feel the stretch. Hold for 10 seconds.

While keeping the right (rear) leg straight, deepen the stretch to reach further down your right (rear) leg. Hold for 15-30 seconds.

Switch sides and repeat.
