1. Inner thigh stretch- sit towards the front edge of your chair. Open your legs wide with your knees bent. Put your hands on the insides of your knees and push back opening your legs wider and deepening the stretch.

2. Hamstring and calf stretch- sit towards the front edge of your chair. Straighten your legs, and pull your toes towards your shins. Lean forward with your hands on the tops of your thighs for support (flexing at your hip joints).

3. Glutei’s, hip and outer thigh stretch- sit towards the front edge of your chair. Cross your left ankle over your right knee and lean forward flexing from your hip joints, moving your chest closer to your shin bone.

4. Ab and side stretch- sit towards the front edge of your chair. lengthen your arms over head and exaggerate your reach. Also, try reaching farther through your right hand lengthening the right side of your body more, then switch reaching through the left hand and the right heel.
