| Downward Facing Dog With Split | This challenging exercise improves flexibility and strength by using all four limbs and engaging the hips.
Step 1: Stand with your arms by your sides and your feet shoulder-width apart.
Step 2: Bend forward at the hips and bring your arms down to the floor. Keep your back and knees straight.
Step 3: Walk your hands out so your palms and feet are flat on the floor and your hips are bent about 90 degrees.
Step 4: Extend one leg straight out behind you, keeping your knee straight, until your leg is in line with your body at approximately 45 to 55 degrees. Lower your leg back down and repeat the movement on the other side.
Step 5: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions per leg.
This exercise works a lot of muscles simultaneously and can be challenging, so don’t be discouraged if you find it difficult. With practice, it will get easier. |
