      Crescent LungeAlternate sides · 110 s

      Right foot forward, left foot back and long. Back heel lifted high, toes tucked. Sink the hips down and forward until the front knee is over or past the toes — that travel is the stretch. Step the back foot forward and stand tall in Mountain, then the left foot forward. Keep alternating through Mountain.

    2. 06

      Stand tall, then step the feet wide.

    1. 07
      Side LungeAlternate sides · 2 min

      Shift over the right leg, left leg straight and that foot flat on the floor, then over the left. Alternate side to side; both feet stay grounded the whole way across.

    1. 08

      Walk the feet in and rise to stand tall.
