Single Straight Leg Stretch

Now we're going to take a look at the single straight leg stretch. So Christy will lift her head and chest up off the mat. She'll lift one of her legs and hold on about the ankle. This exercise is a challenging abdominal exercise, generally found in the series of five. So Christy will pull twice on her leg drawing in with her abdominals and also with her arm. She'll then switch legs pulling twice.

The opposite leg will hover down near the mat. To make the exercise slightly easier, you could make the range of motion smaller. What's critically important is that the back stays stable, the low back stays connected to the mat and the trunks. It maintains its stability. Additionally, to make the exercise more challenging, you could take the leg all the way down and press it into the ground using it as an anchor to pull against with the other leg. To finish a ring broke both legs back, bend your knees and place your feet down, and that's a single straight leg stretch.
