Exercise: Stride Back Heel Planter
Equipment: No equipment
Movement Type: Mobility
Body Focus: Lower Body

Step forward from a standing position into a stride/lunge but your back leg remains extended as the front knee is slightly bent. Tilt forward through the hips as you reach high towards the sky and lean towards the side of the bent knee. You then bend backwards, lean into the stretch feeling a release through the front of the hip and up through your torso. Hold for a couple of seconds and repeat. Alternate these strides forward for a dynamic warm up and mobility of the hips and surrounding muscles.
