Extend both arms forward as straight as possible, keeping the upper body at a 90-degree angle to the lower body. Slowly lift the upper body until the entire body forms a straight line.
Step 2
Sit upright on a chair with the upper body straight. Slowly lower the upper body until it nearly touches the thighs. Keep both legs and the upper body fully extended throughout the movement.
Step 3
Lift both feet, arching the tops of your feet, and extend them straight forward at a 90-degree angle to the floor. Then curl your toes inward, feeling a stretch throughout your entire leg.
Step 4
Stand upright with hands on your waist (or against a wall), then slowly rise onto your toes until reaching the highest point you can sustain before lowering back down. You will feel a noticeable stretch in your lower body.
