Lunge With Spinal Twist Stretch
Benefits of stretch:
Many people have tight muscles, tight hips and back aches because of a sedentary lifestyle such as sitting for too long. The lunge with a spinal twist stretch is a great core stretch that builds lower body strength. Twisting lunges also require balance and stability when twisting the torso away from the lower body while maintaining the alignment of the knees hence making this a very good stretch for hip and mid-back mobility.
How to do the stretch:
- Find some space on the floor and go straight into a lunge position with the right foot forward.
- Put your left hand next to the forward right foot and straighten the back left leg.
- Ensure your hand is directly underneath the shoulder and rotate from the belly button up to allow a rib rotation. Reach your hand up to the ceiling.
- Hold the stretch for 10 seconds, come back down and switch sides.
- Do this for 2 to 3 repetitions.
If the stretch causes you any pain, please stop immediately and seek professional advice.
