Benefits: A seated straddle can seriously stretch out your inner thighs, while also tackling your low, middle and upper back, calves and hamstrings.
How to:
- Take a seated position with your legs apart. You should have your legs comfortably far apart, but still be able to sit upright.
- Point your toes up to the ceiling, extend your arms out in front of your body, and place your palms flat on the floor.
- Slowly bend forward from your hips, reaching forward with your hands. Try to keep a flat back, and avoid rounding your back towards the ceiling by stretching from the hips, rather than your back. You'll feel this one in your inner thighs as well as your hamstrings.
- Repeat 2-4 times, holding for 30 seconds.
