Description

  • Stand with your feet at shoulder width, arms relaxed down in front of you.
  • With one foot, step forward about 16 to 20 inches and descend carefully.
  • While descending, drop your shoulders forward, reach your hands to the ground.
  • Then step forward onto the front leg, straightening your torso.
  • Then repeat with the opposite leg.
  • Alternate legs for a specified number of time.

ProTip

  • Allow your torso to round ("hunch") forward as you reach to touch the ground.

Mistakes

  • Front foot and knee not pointing straight.
  • Not allowing the shoulders to drop and the back to round forward while reaching down.
