This is a great balance exercise!
•Stand tall with your feet about hip width apart; take a breath and relax your shoulders.
•Raise your right leg until your hip is approximately at 90 degrees. Use your right hand to hold onto your knee, without pressure. Engage your core muscles so you don’t start tilting.
•Keep your hips facing forward; put your left hand on your knee and bring the knee across your body, to the left, until you feel a comfortable stretch in your hips and butt.
•Change hands putting your right hand on the knee and move it out to the right side of your body. Engage your core and keep your pelvis facing forward. You should feel the stretch in the inner thigh.
•Bring the leg back to center and release. Take 3 deep breaths and repeat on the other leg. Do the exercise 3 times with each leg.
ENJOY!
